Some words about myself

How did I get into frontend development?
I graduated from a high school with a focus on physics and math, and then went on to study radio electronics at university, earning an engineering degree. But I never ended up working in that field. Instead, I spent the next five years in a management position at an organization. After that, I ran my own business for about four years, doing home and apartment renovation and finishing work.

So, how did I end up in frontend? I’ve always been interested in computers since childhood, but it wasn’t until after I turned 35 that I finally decided to give programming a try. When the pandemic hit, I started looking for ways to work remotely. I learned how to build websites using no-code platforms — but that was more about design than development. I created a few websites, and later got a remote job as a mentor at an online education company. Alongside my main responsibilities, I sometimes edited HTML code for the learning platform. That’s when my childhood dream of working with code came back to life.

Three years as a mentor gave me solid experience with remote work and collaborating with teams and people online. That’s when I made the decision to become a frontend developer. I set a goal to learn programming no matter what — and here I am. What helps me on this path is my strong interest in the field, persistence, attention to detail, focus on goals and a healthy dose of perfectionism.

My motivation also comes from a few personal goals: working remotely and being location-independent, keeping my mind sharp, connecting with interesting and open-minded people, finally mastering English — and, well, let’s be honest, the salaries in tech aren’t bad either.

I enjoy learning new things and figuring out how the world works.

About my skills:

Code example:

Write a function that calculates the flight distance of a ship based on the input speed and flight time. The speed is provided in knots, and the time in minutes. The output should be the distance in kilometers.

function travelDistance(avgSpeed, travelTime) {
  const KMH_PER_KNOT = 1.852;
  const travelHours = travelTime / 60;
  const travelSpeed = avgSpeed * KMH_PER_KNOT;
  const travelKms   = travelSpeed * travelHours;
  
  return travelKms;
}
