Hi! I'm Reha S.
A tech enthusiast passionate about coding and building. An entrepreneurial soul who has transitioned from software project management to hands-on development.
About Me
I discovered early on that coding wasn't just a skill for me—it was a profound energy source. My journey through the languages of Go, Python, C#, and Javascript has taken me from building simple apps to developing both large-scale and small-scale systems that run on everything from browsers to mobile devices and servers. While I have experience with various frameworks, my focus has shifted more towards backend development, specializing in developing distributed systems primarily using Golang, with a strong background in C#.
The challenge of coding solo transformed when I joined the Codaisseur Academy. There, I honed my ability to work within teams, a skill I've cherished and grown in my professional path as a software developer since 2018.
Beyond code, I am driven by a passion for startups, a curiosity about economics, and a fascination with physics. I'm always looking to collaborate, learn, and build with others who are eager to push the boundaries of what's possible.
If you're interested in creating, learning, or working together, let's connect!
