Experience
Over the past year and a half, I have been working as a junior web developer at Magebit, creating solutions for e-commerce stores all over the world. From the diverse work culture and awesome events, I have improved my skills while collaborating with a talented team, achieving both personal and professional growth. Thankfully I have the ability to work fully remote, so I do not have to worry about sitting in traffic jams. Before starting work I participated in multiple events and competitions to test out my programming skills. One of my best achievements was winning first place in the Racoons 2020 hackathon. Although I really like coding, it does have some big downsides. High screen time, back pain and strained eyes is just the start. I try to balance out the long sitting hours by doing sports. It helps me clear my mind and be more productive. I like going to the gym, running, playing basketball and volleyball.
