I'm a self-taught full-stack developer. Programming started as a hobby in high school, mostly Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. I love to travel, so I work as a digital nomad and build software from wherever I happen to be. The projects below are my personal works.

From Circuit Boards to Software
I started programming as a hobby in high school. It was mostly hardware back then, doing Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects.
In college I moved into software. What amazed me was the thought that anything is possible in programming. You can really turn ideas into reality. I dropped out because of COVID and decided to just go for it.
Since then I've worked at four companies. I started as a Software Engineer at KODA Kollectiv, founded my own freelance shop, joined Full Scale, and I'm now a Senior Software Developer at Venture360.
Day one or one day.
Stop saying you'll start next time. Just start today, even if it's a small step. This is what pushed me to pursue this career early.
