WHO I AM, WHAT I DO, AND WHAT MATTERS TO ME
👋 My name is Patrik, and I come from a small town in Slovakia. I've been learning the value of responsibility through part-time jobs since I was 15. My high school experience at a hotel academy, with the opportunity for work placements abroad (Germany, Greece), was a dream come true for me – traveling, exploring the world, and earning money at the same time 😁! However, after graduating, I realized that the hospitality and gastronomy sector wasn't my long-term path.
💼 Until 2021, I gained diverse work experience, from being a warehouse worker and salesperson to a store manager. A significant part of this period was also working in the e-commerce sphere as an administrator for the company DAVS. This experience provided me with valuable insights into the online environment and the importance of efficient systems. Alongside this, I was intensely dedicated to programming, and in 2022, I successfully transitioned into the IT field. I enjoy the fact that I can create functional solutions from nothing and see tangible results of my work, even without being artistically gifted. My previous experiences, including my time in e-commerce, have equipped me with valuable organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and an understanding of online business, which I now successfully leverage in the world of IT.
⏱️ In my free time, I enjoy traveling, actively playing sports (boxing, swimming, gym), relaxing with games (WoW), and reading books. I also have a close connection with animals 🐾 and occasionally rescue those in need. In the photos, you can see Milka 😸 (white and black), a very affectionate cat I successfully found a new home for, and Styra (black 🐈⬛), my slightly introverted but loyal companion whom I had to keep.
Anything is possible if you're willing to work for it.
