I was born in the heart of Armenia, a land where West Asia meets Europe. Yerevan, the enchanting capital, cradled my first cries. It’s a city of ancient origins that proudly boasts its position as one of humanity's oldest, continuously inhabited havens.
My Tech odyssey began with a single step: a leap into the intricate world of Backend development. Over time, I found myself straying from the familiar and venturing into the enigmatic lands of Frontend craftsmanship. At the same time, while my heart danced with the code of the visual, I couldn't deny the allure of process orchestration, the art of improving company workflows. And oh, what a journey it has been! A path rich of experiences, a road strewn with accomplishments, but also always hinting at amazing accomplishments to come. As an unexpected turn in an ancient tale, my journey weaves a twist. Imagine this: a degree in Caucasian Studies; yes, really. I delved into languages, politics, history, and the whispers that linger in the mountains of the Caucasus. Life spun further, leading me to a Master's Degree in International Relations. Amid this, a new passion ignited—an enchantment with JavaScript. As I devoured its secrets at my desk, I transformed. And a scholar turned coder. Life, the ultimate storyteller, shifted my narrative from culture to code.
I remember that moment when I wrote my very first line of code, as if it marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life, full of incredible possibilities. It wasn't unlike the feeling of performing a magical act, seeing enchanting results materialize right in front of me. While progress in many fields tends to be gradual, in the realm of programming, it's more like a fast-paced ballet, where changes happen almost instantly. Yet, what intrigued me the most was how programming served as a doorway to countless other careers. It felt like the universe had unveiled its ultimate mystery, allowing me to explore a multitude of professions I hadn't even considered before.
It was a stroke of luck how my journey crossed paths with Proxify around February 2023 (if my memory serves me correctly!). Proxify, a place brimming with its most valuable assets—the people who make up its essence. The network is built by individuals who guide, think creatively, and work together harmoniously. This is where I find myself, stepping into the role of a Fullstack developer at a company, charged with the responsibility of empowering HR teams to shape every aspect of the employee experience. With insights drawn from data, I provide them with the tools to cultivate a company culture that drives organizations towards success. Quite a commendable job! The place I'm employed at is a blend of challenges and companionship, forming a close-knit unit. Each task holds a wealth of information, and every challenge acts like a guiding star, showing us new routes. Picture yourself smoothly coordinating all the internal mechanisms of your company—shaping careers, handling absences, assessing achievements—it's like conducting a digital symphony of operations. Still, the essence of Proxify isn't confined to engagements alone; it radiates through the realm of learning as well. Webinars serve as a goldmine for developers, where technical expertise merges with interpersonal skills. Mariia's valuable insights and Manuel's camaraderie, together, are a pair that shapes the paths we take in our careers.
At first, the idea of remote work caught my attention from a distance, and eventually, it warmly pulled me in. Embracing this change, I've learned to adapt, broaden my perspectives, and evolve—remote work has introduced me to a wide array of skills and a treasure trove of new knowledge. My journey, full of intriguing moments and eye-opening discoveries, is still unfolding, and I take genuine delight in uncovering its hidden insights. As my career story takes form, I'm beginning to perceive a landscape teeming with possibilities.
