About Me

Hello, I'm Behnam Dakermanji, a secure web and backend systems developer based in Montreal, Canada. My journey into tech has been anything but traditional. I originally studied medicine and worked as a doctor in Syria, but my long-standing passion for programming eventually led me to fully transition into web development after moving to Canada in 2019.

Since then, I have built my skills through continuous learning, online courses, and formal studies, earning multiple diplomas in web programming from Concordia University. I enjoy building practical, user-focused web experiences and solving real problems with clean, thoughtful solutions.

Professionally, I have worked as an IT consultant, contributed to small freelance projects, and gained valuable industry experience in different roles. I am especially interested in creating reliable, accessible, and well-structured applications that combine strong functionality with a smooth user experience.
