> I n June 2013 I started working for HSBC again! But this time in GLT (Global Software Technologies) as Junior Test Analyst. > N ow you know when was the first time that I saw programmers in their natural habitat;�. Also, as previously, I had a chance to work in multilingual team. > A fter my first year of graphic design studies, in june 2014, I got my first job as graphic designer in Pracownia Register — a small studio, runned by a young couple, where I had a chance to interact with our customers and learn how to deal with such responsibility. > A lso, what can be benefitial, I had opportunity to work as a designer on a part of a bigger project and it showed me how to respect other people's input.
> N ow, we came to the point when an idea popped in to my head — maybe I should do something more with my skills? "Do you remember 13yo yourself coding a blog in HTML at 3a.m.? God, that was fun!" — I thought.
> N ovember 2014. I got accepted to participate in Django&Python workshops by DjangoGirls in Krakow! Such an opportunity to learn from so many inspiring people! > Thanks coach! >

Couldn't be more happy since a friend of mine told me how awesome RoR is. > N ow, after those wonderful moments with learning how to code in RoR (loved it!) and getting to know with GitHub, I would love to push it to the next level. > If you fancy, you can visit my GitHub for some code!
