I got interested in computer systems and programming while studying Medicine at MF (Faculty of Medicine), so I decided to switch to FRI (Faculty of Computer and Information Science) and pursue a slightly different career path. While at FRI, I received the Zois scholarship for outstanding achievements (basically for having a very high average grade), which allowed me to buy my first Siemens laptop running a Linux distro.
After finishing my studies, I landed a job at a startup in the telecommunications business, where I was exposed to technologies such as SIP, WebRTC, reverse engineering protocols with the help of Wireshark, etc. Fast forward a couple of acquisitions and a decade or more, and I landed at a gaming company, where I could pick my tech stack for the very first time.
