Hello all,
my name is Michal (I live in Prague at Czech Republic), and I have a wide overlap in IT, from the basics of coding in Karel or Basic (@1990's), to programming secure web applications in PHP and SQL (tuned for the visitor's eye using JS, AJAX, CSS and HTML) or PowerShell or Bash. Whatever I require, I Google for it or code it for myself, of course with security and further automation in these languages in mind.

After finishing my High School, I jumped headlong into positions dealing with end users, later also consultation and integration of new systems for the client. I also already have some certifications from Microsoft, or Czech Information and Communication Security Agency. 


I am able to explain in human language to an IT non-blessed person what the consequences of eventual bad decision might be, what should be a better solution and what the client will gain from such a solution.

I don't act like a salesman who sells something and then disappears from the client's sights. Rather, I try to act as the client's partner, on whom they can rely and to whom they can contact again if needed.

When something needs to be done, I simply work until the task is completed without any excuses. I'm not looking for reasons why something cannot be fulfilled, but rather for ways to complete the task as per client's expectations (legally and safely, of course).

I really enjoy IT and everything related to it, in my free time I listen music, walk or create websites and do their SEO. I would describe myself as a technical enthusiast who likes to learn about new trends and technologies.

Currently I am looking for new project, where the knowledges I already gained might be used, and also to learn something new.

Best,
Michal

Hello everyone,
My name is Dony Guerrero Hurtado and I am thrilled to be here with all of you today. I work as a graphic designer, specializing in book editing. I am currently in my fifth semester studying software engineering. I am from Bogotá, Colombia, and I still reside there.
My two daughters inspire me to be the best I can be. Their energy and enthusiasm for life drive me to always give my best. As a graphic designer, my main goal is to create visually appealing designs that are easy to understand. My specialization in book editing has taught me how to organize content in a way that is easy to follow and comprehend.
My studies in software engineering have also helped me to understand the relationship between design and technology.
I am here today because I love to learn from all of you and to share my experiences as well. I believe that we can all achieve success if we work together.
