My programming journey began in high school with Pascal and Delphi, where I actively competed in school contests. Over the years, I’ve refined my skills, leading me to speak at international conferences and share my insights with fellow professionals.As a first-generation Software Engineer and self-learner, I’ve built my career on the satisfaction of solving complex problems. This drive has fueled my growth over more than 10 years of experience, during which I’ve developed fast, efficient applications using technologies like Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Golang, JavaScript, and various third-party services.I’m proud to be recognized by USCIS as an extraordinary individual in my field, a distinction that allows me to work for any company in the U.S. without the need for sponsorship.I’m passionate about open-source development, and I maintain several projects, including my own open-source tool, Lecter. It's designed to help developers understand their applications better, and I’m thrilled to see it making a difference.Beyond coding, I enjoy making complex tech concepts accessible to everyone. I write articles for popular online magazines to help non-technical audiences make informed decisions. You can find more details in my Featured and Publications sections.
