About Me

I am a unique blend of a programmer and designer, with a focus on front-end programming and user interface design. In addition, I have learned the essential skill of managing oneself thanks to the 10+ years of working remotely.

I am fuelled by constant up-skilling (currently I’m learning Rust). I’ve learned most of my skills myself, fully powered by passion and curiosity.
