Hi,

I'm Ruta,

Full stack developer

About


A couple of years ago my life took a 180 degree turn - I left Europe, moved to Canada, faced countless challenges of building a new life and was lucky enough to discover something that brings me great joy - coding.

My tech journey started with Harvard University’s CS50 course and continued with learning web development. Every tech tool I have worked with has amazed me and sparked a genuine interest to explore more. I have built web applications with a variety of languages and tools such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, React, Node.js, Express, Python, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails and I am eager to learn more.

Currently I am working as a full stack developer at Zapier and I love it!

Outside coding, I read novels, ocasionally bake some treats and travel. Some of my most favourite countries that I have been fortunate to visit are Australia, Turkey and Japan. If you ever find yourself wandering the streets of Osaka, try some okonomiyaki or takoyaki - you won't regret it!
