About Me

I enjoy coding, building projects, and exploring robotics. In my free time, I like to play games and work on side projects where I can try out new ideas and see how my skills improve. I learn best by doing and love seeing tangible progress through each challenge. I'm always eager to grow, improve, and explore new opportunities.

I've worked on both front-end and back-end components, especially within educational and research-focused environments. I've worked with REST APIs, public API integration, and basic RESTful API design, and I love experimenting with tech that makes a real world impact. I'm quick to learn, collaborative, and always eager to solve new problems through code.
