My journey starts in early 2007. I did my first website for a company and got a payment of 150 Euro. For me, being an 18 years student and leaving in eastern Europe, payed price for the job was something great, and even more amazing was that web development for me was a hobby, and being payed for hobby, was feeling myself lucky.
After that I started to work on different projects. I was invited to join different tams, develop CMS systems, CRM's, Startups, IoT, etc. I worked with great people, high experienced developers, managers, product owners. I learned from them a lot of important things that helps me to boost my career. One of the important period in my life was when I built be biggest job board which is job board #1 in the country where I'm from. I'm very proud of this project event now-days I remember those times with a very warm feelings inside. Out small team was amazing, strong specialists, each in his filed with a good feeling of humor. Each day spent there was a pleasure.
But sometimes, even if all is good, you need new challenges, you need to grow and go out of your comfort zone. This is why I decide to move to another country and start everything from zero. I got an invitation from a company, packed my stuff, bought ticket on the plain and went to a bright feature.
After 4 years of leaving in a new country I worked in 2 different companies, learned new programming language, new frameworks and tools, worked on a different projects.
The sad part is that my life become a routine. Jira tasks, pull requests, code reviews and so on.
I realised that there is something more important than the money, career, etc. The important is to be proud of what you are doing. To have a fire in your eyes when you do what you love.
This is why I decide to build my own project. The problem is that I have no idea what. If you have any good ideas and you search for a good developer to join you or your team - feel free to write me.
Good luck and thanks for reading!
P.S. My first post ever.
