About me

My name is Sander Orav, and I'm from Harjumaa, Estonia. I'm currently 24 years old, and I'm studying to become an IT systems specialist in the Tartu Vocational College.

I was interested in computers already as a child when I used to play computer games, surf the internet, and just explore the computer out of curiosity. As a teenager, I became interested in how everything works. I became interested in creating webpages and programming. I remember that in the age of 14 or 15, I even had a period when I would constantly create and design webpages and also write programs to a lesser extent.

In 2023, I suddenly found out about the Tartu Vocational College with its IT majors. Without hesitation, I applied for the IT systems specialist's major and also the software developer's major, as they both include secondary education, which I definitely want to get. I completed the entrance exam successfully, and I was accepted to the IT systems specialist's major where I am studying today.

My main goal, of course, is to successfully finish the IT academy and to find a good and well-paying job on my profession. To achieve this goal, I always attend the classes and work hard in order to get all the things done on time. I do my homeworks as soon as possible. My main resource is the internet - you can find answers to basically anything from there.

In addition to my profession, I like to study languages, play the guitar, and do sports in my free time. I often go to gym and walk a lot so that constant sitting at the computer wouldn't affect my health.

My strong sides are my sense of duty, logical thinking, and knowledge of languages: in addition to Estonian, I speak English and Russian fluently, and I also know some Swedish, German, and Spanish.
