Experience

General Qualifications

My path wasn’t a straight one. In 2017, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Physics, specializing in one of its branches—photonics. During my Bachelor's, I discovered that I had a knack for and interest in programming, which made me change gears after graduation. In 2019, I earned a Master's degree in ICT, specializing in cybersecurity. During those two years, I developed a deep interest in AI and took every opportunity I had to enroll in AI-related courses. I also participated in a six-month student exchange at one of the best European universities. It was during that time that I discovered the cloud as well. I hold an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certificate.

Why am I here?

Nothing is quite as satisfying to me as accomplishing something I've set my mind to. Once I do, I am persistent in moving toward the goal, even when things get tough. I believe in achieving something greater through self-development and stepping out of one’s comfort zone—that is why I took on the challenge of building Soki’s website and the associated backend from scratch. I love seeing others use my work to make their journey toward greatness easier, and that is something we at Soki strive to help others with.
