Web development has been my passion since my teenage years. Across eighteen years I have met the kind of projects and problems that force you to grow, and that only strengthened my pull towards programming. I started with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, building sites and portals that are still used by millions today.

Graphic and web design is the other half of my work. It sits naturally next to development, because it lets me look at a product from outside the code — something that became essential once mobile devices arrived and responsive design stopped being optional.

As my career moved on, so did my role. Working as a senior developer brought mentoring with it, which turned out to be one of the most rewarding challenges I have had: passing on knowledge and good practice to people eager to learn, and regularly learning something myself. Later I was asked to lead a team of excellent developers, which sharpened my organisational and management skills while keeping me close to the code. That is the role I am pursuing.

I keep learning on my own projects, taking them from UI/UX design through infrastructure and security to cloud services, backend and frontend. I would rather write and maintain the code myself, but I am not shy about bringing in AI tools and agents to move faster and automate the repetitive parts — with both eyes open and under strict supervision, so code quality and my own overview of the codebase never slip.
