Tehnical Support & Sales Representative - Student Job

Navteh

As an IT student I had the opportunity to work at Navteh as an Intern for three months. This was a great experience for me, because I worked on a real programming project which was later implemented and used in company's everyday workflow. Using C# (.NET Framework) my task was to develop and implement additional features for the company's repair's tracking program. 
I learned to:
- quickly assimilate new concepts, exchange ideas to overcome challenges.
- build, maintain and develop code that is readable and maintainable.
I gained invaluable experience as a teamplayer and hands-on practice on solving problems, bugs while exploring the building process of software development.
Additionally, I had to present the project and the company to all interested public, and my classmates.

Hello there!

Ever heard of the 'NeuroFly' simulator, where you control flight purely with your mind? That was one of 34 VR simulators I developed while working in a aviation-oriented company. These days, I'm on a mission to help businesses elevate their digital game.

What I bring to the run(way):

 - Designing bespoke web solutions that truly resonate.
 - Crafting user-centric dashboards and analytics to decode your audience's journey.

My drive? A perpetual thirst for learning, creating and pushing boundaries. When I'm not immersed in coding:

 - I'm helping businesses blueprint immersive simulator experiences.

 - Sharing my ups and downs on 'Pivoting to Self' substack to (hopefully) help out other aspiring entrepreneurs on the same journey.

 - Devotedly assisting users in ed-tech, and honestly, it's a joy like no other!

Ready to partner up and skyrocket your digital aspirations? Contact me and we will figure it out!
