My journey

Experience & Education

"Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom."

Every journey begins with the first step. It often happens that we cannot choose the beginning, but later, thanks to knowledge and experience, we can improve the path we take through life.

Work ExperienceTotal professional experience: 9 years 6 months

Gambling.com Group is the company where I put everything I had learned into practice — here I do the kind of work I once looked up to. What was once a goal became my everyday responsibility, and it is a role I take with pride.

My days are filled with maintaining and improving many projects and websites at once. I work across React, Vue JS, Next.js and WordPress, step into the Backend whenever a task requires it, and take care of deployment from start to finish. On top of that, there is a lot of design on the fly — turning ideas into polished interfaces quickly, often without a finished mockup.

Today, QA is simply part of a developer's job, so I test and verify my own work before it reaches anyone else. Switching between so many projects, technologies and roles is exactly where all my previous experience comes together.

This is the company where I have definitely shown my experience — and the place where I still want to grow and keep working.

At Duos Asinos, besides a few smaller React projects, I worked on a huge dating platform with tens of millions of active users. At that scale, every change matters — performance, stability and attention to detail are not optional, and a small mistake can reach millions of people. Working on such a product changed the way I think about code.

It is important to note that I also worked on an Express project, so my experience goes beyond the frontend and includes building on the Node.js side as well.

Here I met, in my opinion, the best tech lead in the world — and I still think so today. I learned so much from him, and I owe him a lot. At the time, I both hated his strictness and loved his precision; looking back, it was exactly what I needed. My goal is to be like him one day.

I can honestly say that this is the company where I forged my seniority and grew my knowledge like never before.

At Simple IT Solutions I worked on many demanding projects that required deep knowledge of React. The central project was a large .NET system with a React frontend on top of it — a complex application where the frontend had to work hand in hand with a big backend.

Working this close to the backend brought me into contact with .NET technologies, which gave me a better understanding of how the whole system fits together. At the same time, I had the freedom to apply my own design, so I could shape not only how the product worked, but also how it looked and felt.

I was part of a great team with incredible leads, from whom I learned a lot. Unfortunately, the post-COVID period led to the company closing, but the experience and the people stayed with me.

Net Sector helped me discover in myself what I really am — a versatile person who is interested in working in many fields. Thanks to various tasks, here, in addition to the Frontend, I started designing and working in Backend technologies and programming Mobile and Web applications. In this company I have worked on many different tasks: from using Laravel and Zend framework on multi-year projects, JavaScript, jQuery, and various JS libraries and frameworks (Vis JS, Moment JS, Chart JS, Isotope, i18next, Slick slider...), creating WordPress websites, React JS, ReactNative, VueJS, all the way to designing, creating mail templates, writing content for sites, working in SVG, creating many animations, using templates, etc.

Although I have worked in larger teams in previous companies, here I realized how much the work of a small circle of connected and great people means.

Quantox Technology is the main source of the beginning of my work experience. In this company, I sharpened my programming skills related to JS. In this company, I initially also worked on Frontend technologies on various projects (mostly coding in HTML and CSS / Sass), but later decided to work in JavaScript and Vue JS.

Since the company has a large number of employees, I learned what it is like to work in a team with a lot of people, and what teamwork means. Thanks to working in this company, I managed to master JS and I laid a strong foundation for further work in programming.

At Alt E Solutions, I took my first steps toward professional programming. Thanks to the company that hired me for a professional internship, my way of working and the code I write have become better. Thanks to mentors who taught me and supervised my work, I began to use Frontend technologies properly.

In this company, I learned to use HTML, CSS, and JS basics correctly. Also, here I met LESS and the Bootstrap framework. With each day of practice, I entered the world of Frontend programming more and more, which contributed to my choice of JS technologies.

It is important to note that in the company I also studied the basics of the Magento (at the time Magento 1) platform. I am very grateful to this great company for giving me the chance and opportunity to officially enter the world of programming.

EducationHighest degree: Bachelor

In Technical College of Applied Studies, I meet programming professionally for the first time. Thanks to the professors and assistants at the school, I gained a strong foundation for further progress in learning general programming. This school provided me with adequate knowledge about information technology and its application in today's world.

As for programming languages, in the first year, we learned the basics of the Java programming language, where we created various programs and applets. In the second year of study, we worked on desktop applications in C#, databases, and .Net technology in general. In the final year of study, we dealt with web programming technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, Angular JS).

In addition to programming languages, we have dealt with information systems design, statistics, operational research, data protection and cryptography, basic computer techniques, operating systems, and computer architecture. It is a great honor for me to be a student of this school.

In High School of Economics, I was a commercial major. We learned about receiving orders from customers, maintaining contact with the client, analyzing statistical data, preparing documents and reports, market monitoring, etc.
