Aspiring Web Developer and DevOps Engineer.
Take a look around - you'll find more about me, the projects I've worked on, and the skills I'm building along the way.
About Me
I'm a Computer Science graduate with a passion for crafting intuitive, dynamic web experiences. I specialize in frontend development using React.js and thrive in a Linux-based workflow powered by Tmux and Neovim. That said, I’m equally comfortable working in cross-platform environments like Windows with Visual Studio Code.
While frontend development remains my primary focus, I’m actively expanding into backend technologies with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go. I'm also deeply interested in DevOps practices and cloud infrastructure. My long-term goal is to become AWS certified and eventually earn the title of Kubestronaut - building scalable, cloud-native systems that are both resilient and efficient.
My background in C#, Java, and Python, gained through academic projects, enables me to adapt quickly across tech stacks and contribute to diverse development challenges.
