About me

Pharmacy studies not only gave me my beautiful wife and a lot of good friends, but also fulfilled my deep interest and passion for researching and understanding how the human body works. After graduation I worked not only in retail pharmacy, but at the same time on immunological research as part of getting PharmDr. degree, which was really satisfying and gave me a lot of valuable experience.

Retail wasn't my cup of tea because of my inner hunger for more creative work, so in 2018 I transitioned to a new position in software development.
