About

I'm a software developer who thrives on problem-solving and building products. I actively contribute to open source projects and have a genuine love for software in all its forms. I'm a continuous learner at heart—I believe I'll keep learning until the day I can't. I bring extensive frontend experience and growing backend capabilities. While I'm actively learning backend development, I've reached a point where I can contribute meaningfully while continuing to expand my knowledge.
