Hi Mario, tell us a little more about yourself
Hello, Hello! I am Mario, and I am 25 years old. Originally from Ohrid, I came to Skopje where I studied at the Faculty of Music Arts. In short, 2 characteristics that would stand out in me are creativity and curiosity to constantly learn new things.
Where did the desire to learn computer networks come from, and why exactly Qinshift Academy ( former SEDC )?
I had the desire to learn IT technologies since I was a child, and computer networks appeared when I started researching which field in IT I would be most suited to.
What challenges did you face attending the academy?
For me, the academy was a complete turnaround from where I was coming from before, that is, the music business. But I realized that the biggest challenge I had already overcome before, and that is to approach the material itself, in a creative and dynamic way.
Favorite module and why?
I think that I had the most affinity for the cloud and cloud infrastructure, that is, how it works, how it is designed and how the cloud can be used best.
Where are you employed and on what position?
I got a job at Qinshift in the position of Junior IT Operations and Support Engineer.
