About Me
My Story
I've always been fascinated by how technology can solve real problems and make life more efficient. What began as curiosity, tinkering with small scripts and personal projects, has grown into a passion for building software that's both practical and creative. Along the way, I've challenged myself with academic coursework, side projects, and internships, each step reinforcing my love for problem-solving and continuous learning.
What I Do
I specialize in software development, with a focus on building efficient, well-structured applications. My projects span web development, data processing, and performance benchmarking, and I enjoy exploring how different technologies fit together to create seamless user experiences. Whether it's coding, debugging, or architecting solutions, I approach every project with the goal of writing clean, maintainable, and impactful code.
Beyond Code
Outside of programming, I enjoy playing board games with friends and family. I also spend time on hands-on projects like 3D printing and small electronics repair. Whether it's creating something new or fixing something old, I like the challenge of figuring out how things work.
Let's Connect
I'm always open to discussing new opportunities, interesting projects, or just having a chat about technology.
