The Samsung IT School 🎓

I'm excited to share that I've completed the Samsung IT School program, graduating on June 2023!

As part of the program, I developed a this game, which I presented to the class using this presentation.

I'm proud to say that I not only completed the program, but I also received a Graduation Diploma for my hard work and dedication (just look at this):

It was an incredible experience, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have learned from such institution.
