My journey into software engineering wasn't exactly a straight line. While I'm now fully immersed in the world of TypeScript and React, creating clean and intuitive interfaces that users love, my path started elsewhere.

It all began when my mom handed me my first computer as a kid. I was instantly captivated. Instead of just using it, I wanted to understand how it worked. I spent countless nights tinkering with software, learning the ins and outs of operating systems, and navigating the shadowy corners of the internet to find free games. The thrill of discovering how to modify game files or finding workarounds for software limitations taught me as much about problem-solving as the hardware upgrades I'd tackle on weekends. I still remember the sense of accomplishment after successfully installing my first GPU upgrade — a small victory that felt monumental at the time.

That curiosity never faded. I went from hardware tinkering to crafting websites with HTML and CSS, watching code transform into something functional before my eyes. Though I took a detour through a Biology degree, technology pulled me back to where I belonged. Today, I build seamless experiences with Next.js and TypeScript while being equally comfortable with backend technologies. As a lifelong learner, software engineering perfectly aligns with my passion for continuous growth. It's both my profession and hobby, challenging me to learn something new every day.
