Who am I?

🚀 I am an enthusiastic, self-taught, software engineer with several years of hands-on experience in crafting comprehensive end-to-end solutions.
💻 I thrive on daily challenges that push me to grow. I am perpetually driven to acquire knowledge from every available source, demonstrating my ambition and goal-oriented nature.
🏀📚 Beyond coding, I find solace in reading and derive energy from playing basketball.

Skills

Back-end development
I'm adept in building RESTful Web API solutions with .NET Core and Entity Framework Core.

Database management
Significant experience using several relational databases (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL) as well non-relational ones (MongoDB).

User Interface
Equipped with diverse experience using AngularJS, ReactJS, Vue.js and jQuery.

Teamwork
Experience has taught me that no matter the project, the team comes first. It's the unit that drives my motivation.

Ability to accept constructive criticism
It's a trait which is not easily achieved, given that I'm an overthinker and my mind would often exaggerate the situation.

Time management
The ability to track and provide meaningful task estimations both in the project scope and outside of it.

Discipline
Comes hand-to-hand with time management and is the result of it.
