I'm a private pilot and flight dispatcher who became a backend developer. Dispatch school was full of the same calculations over and over, weight and balance, runway numbers, so my first real program was a small calculator to do them for me. From there, no one could stop me.

✈️ How it started
As much as it sounds like a joke, what sparked my love for programming was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Its multiplayer, SA:MP, was huge back then, and the servers ran on a language called Pawn. At ten I liked to play around with those files, paste in pieces of code and see what they did.
Years later I was finishing my studies as a flight dispatcher, full of tasks that needed the same calculations over and over: weight and balance, runway calculations and so on. That's when I started programming seriously, and my first project was a small calculator for those problems. From there, no one could stop me.
I like being efficient and solving real-life problems. Every project has taught me something new, and I want to keep growing; it's what makes me happiest.
