Crafting Web Experiences & Exploring Cloud Tech

I'm a Computer Science graduate with a strong passion for web development. During my thesis, I honed my skills in frontend development using React.js, where I fell in love with building intuitive and dynamic user interfaces. I primarily develop in Linux using Tmux and Neovim but am flexible and comfortable working with Windows and Visual Studio Code when needed.

While my main focus is on frontend development with React, I'm eager to expand my skills into backend development using JavaScript, TypeScript, or GoLang. Additionaly, I'm highly interested in DevOps and cloud infrastructure, aiming to build scalable and efficient solutions in the future. I also have experience with C#, Java, and Python from my college courses, making me adaptable to different tech stacks.
