About me
Curious about me? There you go:
Hello! I'm a passionate software engineer with a focus on full-stack web development. My mission? To breathe life into digital products by combining technical expertise with a user-centric approach. Whether it's creating seamless user experiences, implementing responsive designs, or writing clean, high-performance code, I thrive on turning ideas into reality.
My journey began in 2017 when I dipped my toes into web development while studying. Since then, I've embraced new challenges, continuously evolved, and stayed at the forefront of technology. Over the past six years, I've honed my skills and now build cutting-edge web applications using a stack that includes Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, and Ruby on Rails.
As a proactive team member, I relish working on projects from ideation to production release. There's something magical about seeing a concept evolve into a polished product. Whether it's brainstorming features, architecting solutions, or squashing bugs, count me in!
When I'm not immersed in code, you'll find me running across football pitches, throwing darts or drumming.
