Growing up, I had one, and only one answer to the question "Who do you want to be when you grow up?" - it was "IT specialist." At the time, I didn't even know what that meant, but I knew it had something to do with computers. It sounded nice, and my aunt's boyfriends were always IT professionals, which was enough for me to make my decision.My first real encounter with programming was in the 9th grade when my IT teacher gave us an assignment to create a website with Wix. But I had a better idea. One Easter vacation and a handful of YouTube tutorials later - I had done it. I had coded a website myself. Something ignited in me in that moment.Fast forward to today, after countless YouTube tutorials, Medium articles, courses, and many small and big projects - here I am, still finding true joy in clicking "run" and seeing no errors, overcoming the challenges along the way, and always striving for improvement.I am a self-taught web developer. I may not know all the answers, but I have mastered the skill of finding them. I got my first paid freelance project in 10th grade. Currently, I am studying Business Informatics at the University of National and World Economics and working on a big project - rewriting the administrative system of "Ancient Media" - a Bulgarian hosting company founded in 1998.Outside of work, I love hiking, reconnecting with nature, bouldering, snowboarding, landscape and wildlife photography, and playing board games with friends.For me, the purpose of life is being present in the moment and always improving.
