Alisa's Odd Journey

about me

As mentioned in the title, my name is Alisa. I'm pretty bad with talking about myself but here is some basic FAQ about me, so you can learn a little bit more about me.

  1. Where are your from?

    I was born and raised in Russia up until I was 17.

  2. Where are you based right now?

    At 17 I moved to Toronto, Canada to pursue better education. So, I am currently still in Toronto.

  3. Have you always been in tech?

    No. The degree I pursued before going into the coding bootcamp was the complete opposite of tech or anything related to it. I didn't quite enjoy the path I took, so after finishing my Bachelors and taking some time off, I went into the coding bootcamp and made a career switch (although, I am currently looking for a job).

  4. What languages do you know? Which ones do you want to learn?

    If we are talking computer languages, I know HTML, CSS & SCSS, and JavaScript (including its libraries and frameworks such as JQuery, React, and Gatsby). As I progress in my coding journey, I would love to pick up some backend languages (PHP, Python) and some databases (MongoBD, SQL)

    If we are talking human languages, Russian is my native, I speak fluent\advanced English, and the level of my Japanese is basic. In the future I would love to pick up Korean.

  5. Fun question: What anime do you like to watch? What are some of your favorite characters?

    It is really hard to pick when it comes to what I like to watch because there is no specific genre or type of show I love. With that said, my all time favorite anime include (but not limited to): JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, D.Gray Man, and Attack on Titan. I bet some of you think that I am here only for the mainstream shows but I assure you, it's not the case. These anime had a huge impact on my life, so I consider them the closest to my heart.

    As for my favorite characters, I have a bunch of those too but I will limit them to the anime I listed above. Here they are (in no particular order): Kakyoin Noriaki, Guido Mista, Giorno Giovanna; Sasuke Uchiha, Temari; Allen Walker, Lavi; Eren Yeager, Levi Ackerman.
