About
Welcome to my portfolio/blog! I’m a full-stack software engineer and co-founder of Athoni, a game-based learning platform.
My Programming Journey Started coding in 6th grade—while others were gaming, I was debugging. By 14, I launched my first project from scratch (spoiler: it got actual users and "took off"). Read it here.
Personality in a Nutshell
First, I’d call myself a perfectionist. Over the years, I developed tons of personal projects, from making tools for "hacking games" to developing real-world applications (that actually somehow "took off" - HideContent.ml). You know what?... Well, many of these projects never came to light, either because I wasn't satisfied with the finished product or because I changed my mind around around the middle of the project. Even with these difficulties, I also see this perfectionist trait as a strength. It motivates me to delve deeply into technical aspects, laying the foundation to develop and establish my startup, Athoni, later on.
Second, I’m all about leadership. During university, I always led project teams—whether for class assignments or specialized projects. It wasn’t just my skills and confidence that got me the role, but also the trust I earned from my teammates. That trust turned into great teamwork, with many of our projects earning top or even the best grades.
Algorithms & Achievements
I wasn't your typical 'algorithm grinder'. I rarely dedicated myself to solving hundreds or even thousands of problems like other algorithmic enthusiasts. I even ignored all opportunities to compete at the national level, including declining the training invitation from the city team for upcoming national round in Youth Informatics Competition (2017) despite ranking first (algorithm score) in the city round. I also never participated in the selection round for the city team for national excellent student contests. Instead, I was more drawn to creating applications. Check out my notable projects here.
By the way, here are a few of my city-level algorithmic achievements.
- 2nd place - Olympiad in Informatics (2017)
- 3rd place - Youth Informatics Competition (2017)
- Silver medal - 30th April Olympic in Informatics (2018)
- 3rd place - Olympiad in Informatics (2020)
