I'd shake your hand, but this is a website.

I got my first laptop at seven and, with my dad's help, wrote a tiny Visual Basic program that added two numbers. It was simple, but seeing the computer understand something I wrote felt like magic. That was probably where the obsession started.

By high school, computers had already become my thing. Among my friends, I was always the one messing with software, fixing something, or talking about tech, and I had a pretty clear idea that I wanted my future to revolve around computers. I graduated with an A* in Computer Science, an A in ICT, and an A in German.. which was especially fun considering it was my first time ever learning the language. Fun fact: Before that, I had never spoken a word of German. Apparently, I like choosing hard side quests.

College was not exactly gentle. There were sleepless nights, overlapping deadlines, endless projects, and commutes long enough to qualify as side quests. Somehow, between the chaos, stress, and questionable sleep schedules, I made it through. Mostly because the right people made the hard parts a lot more fun.

Collaborated with my team on several web development projects while shadowing experienced professionals throughout the development process. One of the main experiences was contributing to a logistics system, where we observed how the team approached requirements, system design, implementation, and day-to-day problem solving. Under their supervision, we also helped with parts of the development, which gave me an early look at how real software is built beyond coursework and personal projects.

Trained in networking, cybersecurity, virtualization, and server administration under experienced engineers, working with technologies such as CCNA,Windows Server, SAN/RAID storage, SQL Server, SQL Profiler, database backup and recovery, and CIS security benchmarks.

Worked on the development, testing, and documentation of core payment APIs, while building internal tools in **.NET and C#** to simplify payment operations and integrate with third-party payment gateways. I also troubleshot issues across existing payment tools and workflows, helping keep the systems reliable and minimize downtime.

I work on developing and testing AI-enabled enterprise applications, often dealing with both German and English requirements and collaborating with different teams along the way. I also got more involved with the cloud and DevOps side of things, from CI/CD and deployments to containers and infrastructure, which gave me a much better feel for how software actually moves from development into production.
