I'm a Computer Science student at the Open University of Israel with hands-on experience across low-level C, Java/Spring Boot backends, Python, and Linux. I care about code that is readable, tested where it matters, and documented well enough that someone else can pick it up. What I work on most:
Beyond the keyboard: football, travel, and loud music — the usual reset buttons. |
