About Me

Crafting innovative solutions with a focus on user experience and community impact

From the Start...

My coding journey began in 2014, when I started building GUI interfaces and programming solutions using technologies like C++ and JavaScript. Early on, I focused on creating intuitive user experiences for digital platforms and contributed to the rollout of tablet applications designed to streamline content delivery. That hands-on exposure to both front-end design and technical implementation sparked my passion for clean, user-centered development and laid the groundwork for everything I have pursued since.

As technology evolved rapidly, I recognized the need to modernize my skillset and embarked on a new adventure in 2024, diving deep into modern web development with React, Node.js, and full-stack technologies. This journey has allowed me to combine my foundational programming experience with cutting-edge frameworks to build applications that truly make a difference.

What drives me is the sheer joy of seeing something I built actually work and make a difference. I specialize in creating applications that help communities and organizations - from non-profit project trackers to real-time communication platforms. Every project teaches me something new about the endless possibilities of code.
