I have started with Plus 4 and C 16 machines programming in Basic. I still remember when we were jumping on the bed with my brother, and accidentally saw the Commodore 64 computer on the top of the wardrobe, which was planned to be a Christmas gift for us. I don't have to tell you that we couldn't wait till then. :) I will never forget this memory. Of course in the beginning we only played on the computer, but later I became interested in how can I make my own programs. I have to tell when I first faced the binary number system I did not understand it, but I was still able to draw some sprites on the screen. :) I continued learning software development during grammar school. I got my Masters degree at the Budapest University of Economics and Technology where I learnt many languages and also learnt a lot about general software development theory and practice. I have started my professional career as a C++/C# developer, but I switched to Java after a few years. I've visited many meetups and Code Retreats during this time and I've learnt and introduced Agile methodologies in our company. During the years I lead the development team in close cooperation with the product management and testing department. In 2020 I felt I need something new and I turned towards test automation both API and UI. I did not regret my decision. Since then I tried many frameworks like RestArrured, Selenium, Protractor, Appium, Selenide and Karate. At the moment I am working as a Senior Software Developer in Test using Selenium and Selenide for UI testing and Karate for API testing. I believe knowledge sharing is very important, so apart from helping my colleagues work I started my technical blog recently: https://mszeles.com Sharing your knowledge provides many ways for your own development. Whenever I write an article many questions come into my mind which might be interesting for the readers, so I try to answer all of them in my posts. Doing this I learn a lot about the subject. In additionally sharing your knowledge gives a good opportunity for feedback based on which you can further improve. ## Responses 2 Markdown supported · ⌘↵ to post [Jorge Romero](https://hashnode.com/@JorgeRL) [Jun 13, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-write-an-article-just-about-almost-anything/62a60dbd4754a2eb1e0a64bd/comment/62a740f1ddf27ef9ab05d78e) Your very first tip (way back in one of your earlier posts) about "choosing something that just thinking about it makes your heart pump faster" has really stuck with me: > Before leaving, I give you some homework: > > 📚Think about what is the topic closest to your soul that makes your heart pump faster even by thinking about it? If you find it, I am pretty sure you cannot fail with writing an article about it. :D I like the basic writing tips as well XD [Miki Szeles](https://hashnode.com/@mszeles) [Jun 13, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-write-an-article-just-about-almost-anything/62a60dbd4754a2eb1e0a64bd/comment/62a740f1ddf27ef9ab05d78e#reply-62a7414e4754a2eb1e0a8e14) I am happy you like it. 😊 [Eleftheria Batsou](https://hashnode.com/@eleftheriabatsou) [Jun 13, 2022](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-write-an-article-just-about-almost-anything/62a60dbd4754a2eb1e0a64bd/comment/62a6f8cd165482d2b3ef07c6) Thanks [Miki Szeles](https://hashnode.com/@mszeles), that was a pleasant read.
