ABOUT ME

I am a young professional living in London. After 5+ years of experience in Customer Service I am seeking to start a new career in Software Development.

As recent graduate from one-year Java development bootcamp, I am continuously learning and working on my self-development, so that I can consistently achieve better results. At this moment I am working on multiple, non-commercial projects, and I can say with confidence, that programming became my passion. I find it fascinating, how world of programming opens many possibilities and new exciting fields to study. How huge part of our day-to-day life is based on applications and algorithms. I am enthusiastic and eager to learn new technologies and go into great detail of application and web programming.

Over years of working as Junior Restaurant Management, I have gained ability to succeed in dynamic environment and skilfully manage multiple tasks. Customer service experience helps me provide user-oriented solutions and design, always focusing on client needs and expectations. Throughout my career, I have learned a methodical approach to efficient problem-solving. Being flexible, open to suggestions and criticism, helps understanding final product and allows me to look at the problem from different point of view.
