I'm studying Computer Systems / Software Engineering at Business University "Turiba", and I've spent the last three years splitting my time between coursework, freelance development, and the Student Council — where I served as Deputy Head of the Cooperation Department and was named an Honorary Member.
In autumn 2026 I did an Erasmus+ exchange semester at Lapland University of Applied Sciences in Rovaniemi, Finland, taking courses from Advanced Data Analytics to Industrial and Consumer Robotics.
I write in Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, C, C++, and Go, and I keep building small projects on the side while working toward certifications in networking and systems security — I've also completed Hack The Box challenges run for the Latvian military.
