But what truly sets me apart is my adaptability, ownership mindset, and ability to thrive in any environment. What makes me different? ➡️ I adapt fast to tech & business needs I started my current role as a Java developer, but quickly picked up Python to support our data jobs. Not only did I learn it from scratch, but I successfully delivered features on time, led the project, and improved existing processes. ➡️ Timezones don’t limit me I've worked with both European and US-based clients. I adapt my schedule as needed to support team collaboration, regardless of location. ➡️ I thrive in any work environment From highly structured Agile teams to chaotic, fast-shifting workflows ("build this today, drop it tomorrow"), I deliver quality results and keep stakeholders happy no matter the process. ➡️ I learn fast and I love it I graduated as a Veterinary Doctor and transitioned into software development from pure passion. Learned Java first, then JS, React, Angular, Node.js, Python, cloud technologies—you name it. Fast-paced or not, I ramp up quickly. Can you work with cutting-edge tech? → Yes. Check my work history. Can you mentor juniors/mids? → Absolutely. I do it daily. Comfortable using AI to boost productivity? → Yes. AI is a tool I use regularly. Can you interview technical candidates? → Yes.

From FAANG-level tech to manual processes—I've navigated both. Do you take ownership seriously? → Yes. A task is only "done" when it’s tested, deployed, documented, and reliable. Do you write documentation? → Yes. I document things others skip—because clarity helps everyone. Bonus: Occasionally, I even make good jokes.
