About Me
My foray into the world of web development began in 2014, sparked by the fascinating discovery of the "Inspect Element" feature, which opened my eyes to the inner workings of websites. What started as curiosity quickly evolved into a deep-seated passion for crafting and enhancing digital spaces.
Today, I pride myself on developing comprehensive, responsive applications that serve real-world purposes. My toolkit of choice includes React (using NextJS) and Typescript, which I leverage to create seamless, user-centric experiences.
When I am not coding, I am usually playing Osu!, League of Legends, or bouldering!
