Hello! I am a confident professional with a background in Computer Science, Business, and Psychology, well-equipped with a diverse skill set that includes communication, decision-making, collaboration, and leadership. My approach to my career is characterized by a perpetual eagerness to learn and grow. I firmly believe in adapting and evolving through new experiences, viewing every hurdle as an opportunity for further learning and personal growth.
Outside the professional arena, I am a spirited individual with a penchant for creativity and exploration. I immerse myself in various making projects; all forms of crafting leave me spellbound and smitten. My current focus is writing, epistemology, and systems design. My love for the arts extends to rhythm – placing exactly the right chords — into deliberate arrangements - with clockwork precision – as well as weaving cryptic yet meaningful visuo-cognitive poetry to tuck away in less-traveled corners and hidden crawl-spaces across the internet. A true explorer at heart, I cherish delving into the physical and virtual worlds, whether it's appreciating the beauty of nature, engaging in gaming, or pondering over philosophical discourses on human nature and ethics.
I am deeply committed to fostering environments grounded in fairness, transparency, and inclusivity, where diversity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. As I navigate this magnificent – unexplored, uncharted, and even slightly treacherous – technological landscape of transformation and possibilities we face, my objective is to contribute meaningfully to projects that resonate with my values, hoping to collaborate with like-minded individuals to craft a more ethical and innovative future.
In this section I showcase projects that demonstrate where I have honed my practical development skills

In this section I reflect on the soft skills that I have aquired
Synopsis: Expert in initiating and nurturing conversations for collaborative development.
Elboration: I am capable of initiating conversations, fostering and nurturing mutual awareness, which is essential for making connections, building relationships and working on mutual projects. In my perspective, any development project or evolving situation necessitates an active and reflective discussion, with the pace of the discussion matching the speed of the development.
Synopsis: Fostering growth through inclusive collaboration and open-minded exploration.
Elboration: I excel in fostering collaborative environments characterized by knowledge sharing and mutual respect. Leveraging insights from diverse fields such as arts, philosophy, or technology, I nurture a culture where ideas are valued equally and synergies are created. I am particularly open to receiving and incorporating feedback, facilitating growth and understanding within the team. This adaptive and explorative approach not only respects differing viewpoints but encourages venturing into new territories, enhancing what a collective effort can potentially achieve.
Synopsis: Efficient at identifying patterns and creating adaptable organizational systems even from scratch.
Elboration: I try to stay as organized as I can, depending on how much time, energy, and/or necessity there is. I'm good at spotting patterns and breaking them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. I can sort things into categories and create bigger groups or subcategorize. When it comes to spatially arranging items or data, I consider how often they're used and how close they are to where they're needed. When I understand the necesstiy for structure I feel highly motivated to organize the environment in question. When the organizational tools, or the training required to use them, aren't available in my environment I will go as far as making my own systems if necessary.
Synopsis: Actively seeking knowledge, I enhance understanding through structured inquiry and learn from every experience.
Elboration: I can seek the knowledge I need or inquire where to find it. I define concepts, grasp their structure, and use organized approaches to enrich my understanding through experiences that validate or contrast my awareness. I actively embrace this process to build confidence in the knowledge I acquire. To me, successes only validate what I already know, while new experiences and mistakes are the path to further learning.
Synopsis: Embracing responsibility as service, I offer guidance, adaptability, and appreciation for hard work.
Elboration: I view all roles of responsibility as a service, whether it's a managerial role or a frontline position. I understand terms and concepts like guidance, consistent support, training and appreciation of hard work. When I commit to a course of action I do so with determination but at the same time I am adept at course correction and reorientation.
Synopsis: Proficient in holistic problem-solving, employing multiple perspectives to find effective solutions.
Elboration: I am proficient at tackling difficult problems, keenly identifying the various components required to seek the most effective solution. I approach solutions from as many angles as possible, seeking every viewpoint and every stance before settling on a course of action. During the first year my BSc studies in Computer Science, I took a course specifically focused on honing problem-solving abilities where I scored top of the class, an achievement I am proud of. Since then I have been honing my problem solving skills, applying them in various circusmstance and tackling difficult challenges.
Synopsis: Curious and innovative project developer with expertise in continuous integration and proactive problem-solving, backed by diverse interests.
Elboration: I approach development projects with a genuine curiosity and an eagerness to venture into unexplored territories, steadily working towards finding solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible. My forte lies in embracing the principles of continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD), where I apply methodologies that facilitate seamless transitions between development, testing, and deployment, enhancing efficiency without compromising quality. I have cultivated an ability to anticipate potential challenges, which helps in formulating proactive strategies to navigate them seamlessly. This approach is enriched by my diverse interests in areas such as gaming, philosophy, and the arts, fostering a creativity that allows me to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to project settings, contributing to richer and more nuanced project outcomes.
Synopsis: Persistent skill development with adaptive focus and resilience.
Elboration: I consistently seek to build the skills required for the tasks ahead of me, and I highly enjoy the rewards of that effort. I have a strong belief in my capacity and resilience to reach further in any skill while also being able to recognize when my focus on a specific task is misguided, being capable of redirecting my focus to different tasks that refocus my skills.
I am a steadfast advocate for fair and just processes, a commitment grounded in the principles of equity, transparency, and inclusivity. I believe in extending support that recognizes and respects the diverse needs and perspectives of individuals and communities, striving to foster environments where equality is not just pursued but celebrated.
Taking on a role of responsibility, for me, means embodying accountability in all facets of decision-making. It is about being aware of the broader implications of my initiatives and actions, and maintaining an open line of communication with all stakeholders involved. I am not only willing but eager to engage in constructive dialogue to ensure the most responsible and ethical outcomes.
I am confident in my readiness to communicate openly, fostering collaboration and mutual understanding. I am dedicated to navigating the complexities of decision-making with empathy and a willingness to adapt, ensuring that the repercussions of my actions are always considered and that I remain accountable to the communities and individuals I serve.
