Hi, I’m Semen Mikhtaniuk! 👋

I am a Python Back-end Developer based in Tel Aviv, Israel, with over a year of experience in web development. My journey began at ITMO University in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, where I pursued a degree in Information Technologies and Programming. During my time there, I also had the privilege of working with PICASSO as a Python Back-end Developer, where I was part of a dynamic team of five developers. We worked on various web applications, improving backend code, fixing bugs, and adding new features to enhance user experience and functionality.
