Hi @FezVrasta, I'd like to ask you... can you tell me how your journey was to get to the place you are now?

Hey hi!

I started coding phpBB plugins and translations and eventually moved to JavaScript and jQuery, I found a job as web developer in an Italian IT company but I ended up wasting a lot of time without learning much, so I spent my free time working on open source projects.

I released a Bootstrap theme that implemented Material Design shortly after Google announced Material Design and it blew up on Hacker News, a lot of companies used it in their projects and a couple of them made me an offer for a full-time position.

I worked for a few years for a San Francisco company remotely and from there I got to know a lot of cool people that helped me land new jobs in even better companies.

I keep working on open source projects but most of my time now is dedicated to the development of the project the startup I'm working for is creating.
