The trigger
In accounting, the repetitiveness of the work started to wear on me: the same tasks, over and over, with little real value added. But somewhere in that grind, I found what really excited me: automating those processes. Once a task was automated, I'd fall right back into the same boredom as before, and it was that contrast that eventually pushed me to make it my career.
Discovering development
Programming felt like an obvious answer. I realised it was exactly the tool that let me solve this kind of problem: turning an idea into something concrete, usable, that genuinely changes someone's daily life.
“The developer's passion, the former accountant's rigor.”
The career change
Discovering development is one thing. Rebuilding everything to make a living from it is another. I started with a computer science degree in evening classes, alongside my full-time job. Then I decided to go all in and replace my full-time job with a specialized .NET development program, on top of my evening classes, stacking up to 12 hours of training a day, for a year, before landing an internship, then my first job.
Today
Today, Oktoprod exists to bring your ideas to life. Sometimes it's a tool that saves a small business hours every week. Sometimes it's a more creative project, like turning a paper escape game into a mobile adventure. Either way, the analytical instinct I built over ten years in accounting helps me quickly see what really matters behind every request.
