From childhood, when I first tried programming on a clone of the ZX Spectrum computer, I realized that software development was something I wanted to explore—even if only as a hobby at the time.

My serious journey into software development as a profession began with Delphi. At that point, I was already learning C as a hobby and writing system tools for Linux. However, I had no prior knowledge of Delphi when a company approached me to create some tools for them within two months. I said, "Why not?" and, in less than two months, I not only learned Delphi but also delivered my first tool for a major company. That experience taught me something invaluable: with determination, you can learn anything.

That moment marked the beginning of my long and fulfilling IT career, which has now spanned over 15 years. Along the way, I've worked with a wide range of programming languages and tools, participated in multiple startups, and faced countless sleepless nights tackling challenging projects. One memorable experience was helping save a startup by completing a web game that their previous team couldn't finish. In just 2-3 months, I wrote the game and delivered it precisely on the deadline, just in time for their investor presentation.

The next significant milestone in my career was working in Cyprus on a high-load project. My focus was on improving the system's stability and speed. It was an intense period of chasing performance optimizations and writing robust code. I vividly remember tickets that involved investigating how changes—such as adjusting opacity—could impact rendering times in certain browsers or ensuring that deployments worked seamlessly in blocking scenarios. It was a relentless race to achieve peak performance across multiple platforms.

After six years in that role, as markets evolved and new technologies emerged, I made the shift to AI and blockchain. These fields are at the forefront of innovation, and I am now deeply focused on expanding my expertise and contributing to groundbreaking projects in these cutting-edge domains.
