About

Iโ€™m a computer science graduate and software engineer with hands-on experience building full-stack and AI-powered applications. I enjoy working across the stackโ€”from designing clean, intuitive user interfaces to building secure, scalable backend systems and integrating applied machine learning where it adds real value.

My academic and project experience has given me a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles, along with practical exposure to technologies such as React, Python, Express, Django, and cloud platforms including Azure, AWS, and GCP. Iโ€™ve worked on projects involving NLP, OAuth-based authentication, and cloud-native architectures, always with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and user experience.

Outside of coding, I enjoy learning new technologies, refining my problem-solving skills, and building projects that translate complex ideas into practical software. Iโ€™m seeking an entry-level software engineering role where I can continue growing, contribute to impactful products, and collaborate with experienced engineers.
