About Me

I'm a full-stack software engineer passionate about building scalable systems and polished user interfaces. I work primarily withReact, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript — designing clean architectures, implementing secure auth flows (JWT, RBAC), and crafting maintainable UI libraries with Storybook. I enjoy turning complex problems into elegant, reliable products with a focus on thoughtful design and performance.

Beyond the web, I'm deeply interested in data visualization and analytics, exploring insights with Python, NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib. I love uncovering stories in data and turning them into clear visual narratives that guide better decisions.

Lately, I have been diving into machine learning, learning to build, train, and deploy models using Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. By combining my software engineering background with data-driven thinking, I aim to create intelligent, human-centered products.

When I' m not coding, you'll probably find me sketching ideas, reading about emerging tech, or exploring how design and AI can come together to make digital experiences smarter and more intuitive.
