From Accounting to Engineering: A Personal Journey

I started my professional journey in Accounting, but over time I realized I was missing something important — the feeling of seeing real results from my work. Most of the time, everything ended neatly at zero, and while that was correct and structured, it didn’t give me the sense of impact I was looking for. I wanted to see how my work changes things in a more direct and visible way.

Earlier in my life, I had strong training in Math and Informatics in a Natural Mathematics High School. That experience built a solid foundation for how I think and solve problems. It taught me to approach challenges in a structured way and gave me the confidence that I could work with complex systems if I kept learning and practicing.

When I made the transition into Engineering, I was actually very motivated and excited about the change. I could see a clearer connection between what I build and what users experience. There were only a few minutes of doubt at the beginning — moments when I wasn’t fully sure if everything would work out, especially with rent due and a very low bank account balance. But that uncertainty passed quickly, and I chose to move forward. I never really looked back after that.

The journey was not easy. First came getting accepted, then proving myself in a new field, and then continuing every day with discipline, persistence, and constant learning. My accounting background still plays an important role in how I think today. It helps me understand the financial side of systems, business logic, and structure.

But what truly drives me is the engineering side — building systems that can handle millions of events reliably, without losing data, while staying secure, fast, and scalable.
