Welcome to my page! My name is Raffi Jamgotchian. I'm a graduate in Civil Engineering and Finance but my ambitions have changed for the long haul! It's time for a change and my sights are set on transitioning into IT with an eventual focus into Cybersecurity. I've had real world experience as a Civil Engineer, and briefly, as a Geotech Engineer, but none of those roles brought me fulfilment. Additionally, I've never studied outside of my university coursework for either of those aforementioned disciplines. However, the opposite is true in this case as I've self-studied (and still am) and aim to attain the Security+, Network+ certifications.

As a hobbyist programmer I have learnt the high-level language Python, its web framework Django, and a few of its libraries. When it comes to solving a problem on HackerRank, or even completing my first Python script, that's when I felt real accomplishment. I have also recently signed up to TryHackMe to build cyber foundations for later down the line.

From building my own PC, to creating my first Python script, and now crafting this work-in-progress website (definitely needs a CSS overhaul, will get to it soon, I promise!), I'm excited to grow not only personally, but professionally by challenging myself and pushing the boundaries on the daily. Always learning and not afraid of uncertainties, as anything can be adapted to. Currently I'm working on a job scheduling app using the MERN stack, to be followed by a deep dive into cyber, and eventually back to fix this site up.
