person Summary

I am a passionate Android Developer with several years of expertise in creating native mobile applications for Android. In my daily work, I primarily use Kotlin and Java, but I also have a strong background in classical web technologies, including PHP, SQL, jQuery, and HTML/CSS.

My interest extends beyond coding; I enjoy being involved in all phases of the digital product lifecycle, from prototyping, UI/UX design, and testing to front- and backend development for both apps and websites. I am proficient in working with Windows, Mac, and Linux environments.

I am always eager to learn new technologies and techniques to continuously improve my skills and contribute to innovative projects.
