Writing code and seeing it solves a problem, isn't that uplifting?Ever since writing my first programs in Pascal in a middle school, I was amazed how these few lines could make magic happen. Learning the first programming language was tough and inconsistent. You've probably experienced the same, especially if you didn't know that the Internet is your best friend and teacher if you're learning to code. This aroused my curiosity and I understood that this is what I needed, software engineering solves a lot of practical problems and what's more it's not boring at all, you're always in process of creating something practical and new.'Conscious' programming as I thought I started with HTML. Making all those static web pages was quite influential. I want a button - I got it, I want a text input - I got it. Than I decided that adding some styles would be nice and learnt basics of CSS. At that time I felt even better, I could make a beautiful big round button. That was enough for me start a new chapter - JavaScript. Now I was able to handle events. Wow. That was game-changing.After that the first year of college started. I learnt C, Python and Java, but neither of them wasn't able to persuade me to walk away from JS. Four years of college made me responsible and able to solve different tasks. My specialization is Computer Engineering and all the knowledge that I’ve obtained there helps me understand software engineering even on its lowest levels.A big part of my life is English. That's one of my biggest passions. That's why I'm more or less C1, running an Instagram page (@xnglish) dedicated to learning of this beautiful language. Despite the fact, that my current level allows me to do a lot of things such as watch American shows and read original documentation, I'm constantly learning because I want to consistently progress regardless of how close I'm to a goal.I like to work collectively. Perhaps that is because I'm a great fan of football and basketball where a team is more important than any player on their own. When we play football - I always try to make every play beautiful, not ordinary, and that's what I'm trying to bring to the table when it comes to coding as well. Creating something new and seeing it helps people or making their lives better always is the main goal for me.Skills/Interests: JavaScript, Node, PostgreSQL, Sequelize, MongoDB, React, Redux, Git, Docker
