Hello!
I’m Darko Gjorgjijoski, a software engineer 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, Republic of Macedonia.
My journey with computers began at the age of 12, and I’ve been passionate about IT ever since. 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.
