Passionate developer with great work attitude, sustainability and interest for learning something new every day. I've worked in different fields before but IT and web technologies are something I wanted to go really deeply into.

Making something functional and good looking is what makes me smile at the end of the day - and React and CSS are my favorite tools for making it. I'm also curious about backend side of application and I've got experience and knowledge of Node.js and Express. My tech stack is various and growing.


Being a team player is part of my personality. Nothing inspires me more than a great job done together. I am happy to take initiative in my hands but it's also great to rely on other smart individuals with their own knowledge and experience.

The question I ask myself quite often is: will my work help somebody? And I'm happy if the answer is yes and I try to do my best to make it happen.
