About Me

In 2010, I entered the Academy of Music as a sixth grader with no musical background. However, before beginning my studies, I went through an intensive five-year program of music theory and solfeggio during three summers while my peers played in the yard or ran to the water park to ride the water slides. This daunting task was necessary to catch up with my classmates who had already been in the academy since first grade. I achieved my goal and secured my place at the academy, but my determination never waned. I strived to be on par with those who had started since first grade, and as time went on, I began to strive to be the best. It took me almost another year to surpass my classmates in both knowledge and achievement and even go beyond them. Subsequently, I successfully enrolled in college, which not all of my classmates were able to do. My achievements in college were significant and led to my receiving invitations from higher education institutions in Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, Kazakhstan and Russia.

I'm sharing this story to underscore my passion for pursuing what I love, especially when it presents challenges, as I find such challenges immensely captivating. Just as music posed its challenges, I found another fascination in programming. The world of programming, akin to music, is far from facile, and it captivates my interest. My initial exposure to programming occurred during my second year of college while I was still studying music. Since that time, I have harbored a deep desire to explore and excel in this field, with an eye on future victories.

In terms of what sets me apart, my unbridled passion for technology, a boundless wellspring of innovative ideas, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge render me a compelling candidate. I exhibit a remarkable capacity for rapid learning and can adeptly adapt to emerging technologies and tools. Moreover, I excel in collaborative team settings and am poised to perform effectively under pressure. My adept communication skills, which I consider a cornerstone in any team dynamic, further underscore my suitability for the role. I consistently demonstrate a receptive attitude and a commitment to fostering a positive and cooperative work environment.

Why I built this website

I made this website while learning Python and Django to get a hands-on understanding of how it all works. Of course, there are always a lot of questions, but I got a lot of answers in the process. The purpose of this website is to demonstrate my skills that I gained in the process of self-study, and to prove that nothing is impossible. Every line of code is a step towards new possibilities. Eventually I had the idea to make a Web CV. Yes, it may seem quite primitive, but as a beginner in the development process you can understand the basic base of Django functionality.

My skills and experience

Although I may be considered new to the industry, my deep passion for technology fuels my drive to develop and enhance my skills in this field. I firmly believe that through my unwavering dedication and enthusiasm, I will be able to make significant and valuable contributions to the team, both through training and active participation. While recognizing my limited professional experience, I remain committed to an ardent pursuit of knowledge in programming and software development. The IT industry is undoubtedly challenging due to its highly competitive nature. However, I possess the resilience and determination required to succeed in this challenging environment and look forward to learning from seasoned experts and actively participating in the creation of innovative solutions.
At the moment my spectra of skill are not so big, but I'm continuing to work hard. I have undertaken coursework by myself, encompassing programming languages like Python and libraries like Request, NumPy, BeautifulSoup, and Kivy. Actually, I'm continuing to learn Django, and I'm consistently committed to expanding my knowledge base. Also, my educational achievements are in HTML and CSS - I have completed training in Udemy in web development, gaining proficiency in HTML and CSS, and fundamentals of GUI on PyQt5.
