About Me

Here's my story

Who am I?

I'm Alex, a passionate software developer with a strong foundation in various programming languages and frameworks. With extensive experience in the .NET Core, Java, Python, and LUA, I thrive on solving complex problems and creating efficient, reliable, and user-friendly software solutions.

My journey as a software developer began in 2013 with the .NET framework, where I honed my skills in C# and ASP.NET. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the .NET ecosystem and have successfully built robust web applications, APIs, and desktop applications.

I'm currently working as a full-time software developer for Gamma Telecom where I work as part of the billing development team. I am responsible for developing and maintaining customer portals, our in-house invoice generation API, and other internal tools and software to help monitor and manage billing.
