Summary

I am a third-year TalTech Cybersecurity student. I believe that in today's world, emotional intelligence, good decision-making, and communication skills matter the most, and can augment the value of a technically proficient person many times.

That's why I worked in sales for two years, learning communication skills and self-management.

I am looking for a place to start my career in Tech/Infra/DevOps/Software Development. I look for a workplace that gives the opportunity to work with real-world applications, create impact, that provides competitive compensation and learning opportunities, and that promotes independent thinking and taking responsibility.
