Soft Skills

Communication

Studying and working in international environments such as SAP and VGU have helped me develop confident, fluent English communication skills. I'm comfortable presenting ideas clearly, facilitating teamwork, and bridging communication gaps.

Teamwork

Great teams are built on mutual respect and opportunities for growth. I value open-minded collaboration, retrospectives, and brainstorming — environments where individuals thrive. I aim to build and foster teams that empower people and maximize collective value.

Time management

I view time management as the art of maintaining balance — both professionally and personally. I'm committed to continuous self-development, which includes learning new skills, exploring languages, and engaging in meaningful projects.

Interests

Books

Reading is my go-to method for both learning and relaxation. Whether it's a deep exploration into new topics or a nostalgic escape with Doraemon, books remain my faithful companion.

Internet of Things (IoT)

I'm passionate about IoT and the power it offers to monitor and control systems remotely. I've worked on side projects involving various SoCs like Arduino, ESPx, and Raspberry Pi — each with unique strengths in building scalable IoT ecosystems.

Travel

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page

St. Augustine

Traveling allows me to learn through experience and connect with people from diverse cultures.

Photography

Nature’s beauty often transcends words. Photography allows me to capture and share those moments that move the soul — because sometimes, a picture truly is worth a thousand words.
