: My "Bio". Is the language OK? I have a personal website and I have an "about me" text. I though I'd post it here for professionals to tell me if it's OK (English is not my primary language).

I have a personal website and I have an "about me" text. I though I'd post it here for professionals to tell me if it's OK (English is not my primary language).

My name is PrimoÅ¾ Kralj, I am 22 years old and I am enrolled in 3rd
year of Computer Science and Informatic Technology programme at FERI,
University of Maribor. I started to explore computers since I got my
first one at age 10. I wrote my first "Hello world" program at age 12
in Delphi programming language (without using internet back then :))
and made several (mostly personal) websites. My enthusiasm for
emerging technologies haven't smallen since then not even for a bit. I
look-out for any opportunity to participate in summer schools, online
classes or any other activities that could benefit my know-how.

I am especially curious about the sentence in bold.

I would use "lessened" for "smallen" here, and add a comma after "since then", to make it clearer. Also, switch "haven't" for "hasn't".

My enthusiasm for emerging technologies hasn't lessened since then, not even for a bit.

Also, in the sentence after that, "look-out" is grammatically correct but feels a bit weird there, but I'm not sure I can put my finger on the reason. I would change it to:

I am always on the look-out for any opportunity to participate in summer schools, online classes or any other activities that could benefit my know-how.

Also, in your second sentence, you use "I started to explore [..] since I got [..]". This is wrong. Either "I have been exploring [...] since" or "I started to explore [...] when I got". to start is a one-off action that happened at a specific time, not something that has been happening since.
