About me

My story

My journey into programming started thanks to my brother. With no clear idea of where to begin, I took a leap and dived in and once I found my groove, I never looked back.

I build things that are personal and practical. My movie tracker helps me recommend films to friends. My meal planner came from wanting to eat better. For me, the best projects solve real problems I actually have.

Outside of code, I find creativity in experimenting with new recipes and organizing spaces. I love bringing order and creativity into everyday life which probably explains my love of clean, well-structured systems.

Currently diving deep into NextJS and Django REST Framework as well as seeking entry-level software developer roles. Focused on either backend or frontend development opportunities.
