Triston Wasik
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Open Source Contributor | Avid Hackathon Participant | Mentor
I am a seasoned full-stack programmer with a diverse portfolio spanning government projects to dynamic startups. My passion for programming stems from its ever-evolving nature and the thrill of solving complex problems. Most recently, I successfully transformed a startup from a mere concept to a revenue-generating business in just 25 days, utilizing a technology stack that was entirely new to me. This experience underscores my adaptability and quick learning ability, key traits that I bring to every project I undertake.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of developers. I mentor aspiring and junior developers, sharing my knowledge and guiding them through their early careers. Additionally, I have a strong passion for volunteering, particularly with children. For over a decade, I have actively volunteered and led children's camps, dedicated to fostering a positive and educational environment for young minds. Through my career and volunteer work, I strive to make a meaningful impact, both in the tech industry and in my community.
