Hello!
I’m Darko Gjorgjijoski, a software engineer based in Macedonia with over a decade of experience spanning web development, desktop and mobile software, and system administration. I earned my degree from the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, Macedonia.
My journey with computers began at a very young age, and I’ve been passionate about IT ever since. In 2006, I started exploring the UNIX/Linux console, diving into testing, researching, and even dabbling in ethical hacking. Around the same time, I built my first (admittedly humble) websites, marking my initial steps into the world of IT and software development.
Fast forward to today, I’m a full-time programmer and software engineer, and I can confidently say I love what I do. Every project is an opportunity to grow, innovate, and create something meaningful.
