Software Developer & Tech Explorer

Hey there! I'm Kyrian, a software developer with a passion for technology. My journey began in 2018 when I discovered PHP, but since then, I've ventured into many other languages and frameworks, including JavaScript, C#, and Rust. Each experience has enriched my skills and shaped my approach to solving complex problems in the ever-evolving world of software development.

While some might see my diverse skill set as a jack-of-all-trades approach, I view it as my superpower. My exploration across various languages and frameworks has given me a unique perspective, allowing me to bring innovative solutions to complex problems.

My Tech Odyssey

It all started with PHP and CodeIgniter back in 2018. As I dived deeper, my curiosity led me to explore other territories:

  • Ventured into JavaScript, falling in love with Vue.js for both frontend and backend development.
  • Dabbled in Rust, pushing the boundaries of system-level programming.
  • Built shared libraries with C and C++, gaining a deeper understanding of low-level operations.
  • Explored the exciting world of game development using Unity, currently working part-time in the industry.
  • Founded a coding school for high school students in my locality, teaching them coding and robotics, and have graduated over 1,000 students.
  • Mastered Docker and containerization, streamlining deployment processes.
  • Developed an interest in machine learning in late 2023, applying knowledge from Python and C# to enhance my PHP projects.

This journey has shaped me into a versatile developer, capable of tackling challenges across various domains. While I've explored many areas, my true passion lies in crafting powerful backend applications with complex logic.

My Superpowers

My primary superpower lies in my meticulous approach to creating solutions. I intentionally avoid calling it just "writing code" because what I do transcends that—I create solutions. I obsess over making them elegant, well-tested, and reliable. I learned the importance of thorough testing the hard way a few years ago, and now I can't ship without proper tests to ensure quality and ... I just love to sleep well at night 😮‍💨.

Problem Solver Extraordinaire

I thrive on challenges and complex problems. My approach involves diving deep, exploring every angle, and crafting elegant solutions. This problem-solving mindset has been the driving force behind my diverse tech journey, from PHP to game development.

Versatility

My diverse experience is my greatest strength. From PHP and JavaScript to Rust and C++, each language has enriched my coding perspective. Working with Express.js improved my Laravel code, while C# instilled a passion for strict code structure. This versatility allows me to approach problems from multiple angles.

Adaptability

I excel at quickly adapting to new technologies and environments. Whether it's an emergency project with an unfamiliar stack or exploring game development part-time, I'm always ready to learn and contribute effectively. This flexibility has been crucial in my journey as a tech explorer and problem solver.

Holistic Approach

While PHP is my primary focus, I recognize the strengths and weaknesses of various technologies. My experience with Docker, Rust, and game development has taught me to see the bigger picture. I'm not afraid to incorporate other languages or stacks when they're the best tool for the job, ensuring optimal solutions for complex problems.
