## About me

I am a passionate programmer with experience in nine different programming languages, of which I excel in three in particular. However, I am not just a technology enthusiast; I am also a social person who enjoys collaborating with others and advocating for their needs.

My experience as a peer has shown me the importance of building positive working relationships and being responsive to the needs of others. I am constantly striving to improve my skills and embrace new challenges to grow both personally and professionally.
