About Me

From an early age, I have been deeply drawn to activities that require strategic and critical thinking. My journey began at the age of seven when I started playing chess—a passion that continues to this day. Over the years, chess has taught me invaluable lessons in strategy, problem-solving, and adaptability, helping me secure victories in numerous national and international tournaments. Notably, I achieved 6th place in the European Chess Championship. These skills, however, extend far beyond the chessboard and have become integral to another passion of mine: programming.

My programming journey began with mastering foundational languages such as HTML, CSS, C, C++, and C#, which remain my areas of expertise. During my time at Vilnius Coding School, I deepened my knowledge of C# programming, SQL, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), .NET, and Git, gaining both theoretical understanding and practical skills. I have since combined my creative flair in front-end technologies like HTML and CSS with the strategic and problem-solving mindset developed through chess, resulting in a well-rounded approach to back-end programming.

As a lifelong learner, I am committed to continuously expanding my skill set. To broaden my expertise, I completed Harvard University's renowned CS50: Introduction to Computer Science course, where I developed a strong foundation in abstraction, algorithms, data structures, and software engineering. This course introduced me to popular programming languages such as Python and JavaScript, further enhancing my ability to think algorithmically and tackle real-world problems in domains ranging from cryptography to web development.
