About
Get To Know Me
In 2021, my coding journey began with a Kaggle Machine Learning challenge, sparking a deep interest in Python and data analysis. This quickly expanded into a fascination with the entire web development spectrum. I ventured into JavaScript/TypeScript and the NodeJS ecosystem, honing my skills in API development and front-end design. Embracing frameworks like React, Svelte, and Vue, I've developed a diverse and robust skill set, allowing me to craft comprehensive web solutions.
When not immersed in coding, I indulge in my love for TV shows and movies, exploring various genres for relaxation and inspiration. Live music and comedy also play a significant role in my life, offering fresh perspectives that fuel my creativity. These interests, while distinct from my professional pursuits, enrich my approach to web development, infusing it with unique insights and a well-rounded outlook.
