I consider myself both ambitious and pragmatic, as I’m constantly thinking of new ideas and always eager to learn new things and skills, as well as using well-known technologies and reliable methods to achieve my goals. I am currently seeking a full-time year-long industrial placement as a programmer and/or software developer to hone the skills I have attained in developing good quality working software into a professional environment.
