C# .NET Software developer

👔 As a .NET developer with more than a decade of experience in the IT industry, my career began in roles such as a sysadmin and VBA developer. I then progressed to positions including project manager and business analyst, eventually focusing on pre-sales as an IT solutions engineer. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to the research, development, and commercialization of complex IT solutions.

My experience across diverse industries has endowed me with not only technical expertise but also valuable collaborative skills.

• Printing and document workflow&processing (Xerox and Kyocera)
• IoT projects for cars (Brightbox, C-Cars)
• Banking and payment systems (Ingenico, Blockchain startup)
• Manufacturing - gas measurement equipment (Mirax-safety)
• Pharmaceutical industry (STADA)

💻 Following years in technical pre-sales roles, which enhanced both my technical acumen and interpersonal skills, I have exclusively focused on software development. I began my journey on CodeWars, working on my skills in C++, Kotlin, and later C#, achieving a 2kyu level. Subsequently, I leveraged these skills in real-world projects, most of which I can't showcase on my GitHub.

The world of programming isn't uncharted territory for me, but it's still hard to learn to code well.

▶️ QuickBasic ➔ VBA ➔ VB6 ➔ VB.NET ➔ a looong break ➔ languages I moved away from ➔ C#

🏃 Beyond programming languages, I am proficient in English, German, and Russian, and I have recently begun learning French. Previously an avid long-distance runner, time constraints now see me primarily walking. My leisure interests include street photography and quality family time.
