01. About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate passionate about building functional, user-centric web applications. My approach focuses on writing clean, maintainable code and solving real-world problems through technology.

With a background ranging from web development to data analysis[cite: 7, 35], I enjoy the challenge of bridging the gap between complex backend logic and intuitive frontend design. When I'm not coding, I'm likely refining my skills in UI/UX or exploring new frameworks[cite: 48].
