About Me

My story, journey, and the path that led me here

Who I Am

Hey there! I'm Jozef - a developer based in northern Slovakia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ who fell head-over-heels for code more than 4 years ago and haven't looked back since. What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession - the good kind that keeps you up at night because you're genuinely excited about what you're building.

I've discovered that great code is like a well-crafted story - it should flow naturally and make sense to others. Also, it should solve real problems elegantly. Whether I'm wrestling with a tricky algorithm or polishing a UI until it feels just right, I'm constantly reminded why I love this craft.

I'm motivated by the belief that technology should make life better, not more complicated. Every project is a chance to create something meaningful that people will actually enjoy using.

My Journey

From writing my first line of code to where I am today

december 2005๐ŸŒŸ Life
๐Ÿ“ Northern Slovakia

The adventure begins

Born just after Christmas in snowy Slovakia. My parents probably had no idea they were raising a future code enthusiast!

2012๐ŸŒŸ Life

My first digital companion

At the ripe age of 6, I got my first personal computer. What started as gaming and content consumption turned into endless curiosity about how this magical box and the internet actually worked.

fall 2019๐Ÿ’ป Development

Hello, world! (literally)

High school IT club introduced me to C++ and Arduino. Watching an LED blink thanks to the code I wrote? I was hooked. This eventually led me to self-teaching Python as well.

2020๐ŸŒŸ Life

The great OS migration

Said goodbye to Windows and embraced Linux. Because sometimes, you simply need to feel like a hacker.

august 2022๐Ÿ’ป Development

The Odin Project phase

Decided to go all-in on web development following a full-stack online curriculum. Thor would be proud - I was definitely wielding some powerful learning tools.

july 2024๐Ÿ’ป Development
๐Ÿ“ Trstenรก, Slovakia

From student to professional

Landed my first job as a web developer. Finally getting paid to do what I love felt surreal.

may 2025๐ŸŒŸ Life

High school: mission complete

Graduated with an average of 1.06 (where 1 is the best grade). Turns out all those coding sessions helped with problem-solving in other subjects too.

july 2025๐ŸŒŸ Life

Welcome to Apple-land

Made the switch from Linux to macOS. Still love the penguin, but sometimes you just want things to work hassle-free.

fall 2025๐ŸŽ“ Education
๐Ÿ“ Comenius University in Bratislava

University chapter unlocked

Started studying Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava while working part-time. Because why choose between learning and earning when you can do both?
