About
I’ve been building websites and apps since 2020, and I still get excited when an idea turns into something I can use. I enjoy making everyday tasks easier and having the freedom to build something just because I wish it existed.
I learn best by experimenting, getting stuck, and figuring out what went wrong. When something catches my interest, I tend to follow it beyond what’s required. That’s how I ended up joining a machine learning class without taking it for credit, simply because I wanted to learn.
Outside of coding, I enjoy playing guitar and watching horror movies, especially ones with clever plots that keep me guessing.
