My childhood passion for computers began at a very young age. I remember spending hours playing games like Age of Empires and exploring different applications such as Paint, Word, and Excel.

At the age of 5, I was starting to read and write from looking at the letters on the keyboard, something that was definitely a head start in school! I was amazed at how I could type out words and sentences with a few simple presses of the keys.

This passion certainly helped with my academic studies and enabled me to develop a strong understanding of technology. Little did I know at the time however that my enthusiasm for computers would eventually blossom into a career.

Medical school was a transformative experience that not only deepened my understanding of the human body and the importance of compassionate patient care, but also expanded my perspective on life. I was exposed to the diversity of human experience, as doctors interact with people from all walks of life.

From the very beginning of my education, I recognized the potential of technology in the medical field. In my first course, I was introduced to a website of our university's anatomy department, which was full of detailed images of the human anatomy, created with the help of other medical students. This experience made me realize the power of technology in the medical field and rekindled my childhood interest in computers.

I then decided to explore this passion further by expanding my studies beyond medical school. To my surprise, I found that my medical background was an asset in programming. My training in medicine had taught me how to learn efficiently, think critically, and extract relevant information from large amounts of data. This led to a software engineering position at a startup company, while I was still in my 4th year of medical school. I worked there for a year and was able to apply insights from both fields to various challenges. Then I kept working as a programmer, often part-time, and after completing medical school and working as a doctor for a year, I made the decision to leave the medical profession and focus fully on further developing my programming skills.

My passion for web development began to flourish during my time in medical school. My first introduction to web development was through JavaScript. The online community taught me so much and helped me to understand the intricacies of JavaScript and how it interacts with other technologies. I spent countless hours studying and experimenting, and I found that the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. It was through this process that I truly fell in love with web development and programming in general. I enjoyed the process of creating something from scratch and seeing it come to life.

As I delved deeper into web development, I began experimenting with various frameworks and libraries. I was particularly drawn to React, Svelte and Astro, and found myself completely captivated by the potential and possibilities of these technologies. I also began learning about Go as a backend language, and so I began to explore the world of full-stack development. As I built more and more projects, I found that I was able to create more complex and sophisticated applications. This was a very exciting time for me, as I was able to see the results of my hard work.

As a medical professional, I was accustomed to the fast-paced and constantly evolving nature of this field, because it's the same in medicine. This experience had honed my ability to quickly assimilate and adapt to new information, a critical skill in the rapidly changing world of software. This made me particularly interested in keeping up with the latest updates and changes in the software industry, always eager to experiment with something new and push the boundaries of my skills and knowledge.

My passion for programming has grown over the years and I enjoy the never ending challenge of continual learning. I find great fulfilment in becoming better and faster at coding and this fuels my ambition. I plan to continue developing my programming skills by taking on projects that are outside of my comfort zone and challenging my knowledge.

Recently, I have developed an interest in bioinformatics and the Rust programming language. Bioinformatics combines the cutting-edge fields of medicine, computer science, biology, and mathematics to develop solutions in areas like disease diagnosis and treatment. With my medical doctor background and programming experience this makes bioinformatics a very interesting field to pursue. I plan to enroll in a bioinformatics master's program in the near future.

I also co-founded a startup called Adanima , which is a company that uses artificial intelligence to help people and businesses create content. So I have a lot of work to do!

As I look back on my journey, I am amazed at what I experienced both as a doctor and as a programmer. I am excited for what's next, to see what new heights I'll reach and the lessons that I will learn along the way. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had and the people who have helped me along the way. I am excited to see what the future holds and to continue to grow and learn.

My aspiration is to become a great developer and use my knowledge for good. I want to use my skills to create innovative solutions that make a positive impact on society. I am passionate about staying up to date with the latest technologies and trends in the industry, and I am always looking for new ways to improve my skills.

I believe that my enthusiasm for new things will never fade, regardless of my age. I am committed to continuing my education and learning new skills throughout my career. I am excited about the possibilities that technology offers and I am determined to be at the forefront of new developments.

I want to use my knowledge to create solutions that make the world a better place. I am driven by the desire to make a difference in the world, and I believe that software development is a powerful tool that can be used to achieve this goal.
