About

My journey into software engineering began with a passion for artistic creation, honed through drawing and making music. This creative background naturally guided me toward technology, where I could merge artistry with problem-solving through code.

I specialize in both frontend and backend development, with extensive experience across the full stack. I thrive on the continuous learning and creativity that coding offers — transforming ideas into impactful digital solutions. For me, coding is not just a profession, it's a space to innovate and unleash creativity.

Beyond coding, I enjoy video creation, video editing, and watching anime — both of which shape how I think about visual storytelling and aesthetics in UI/UX design.
