Building digital experiences with React, Next.js, Python, and cutting-edge technologies. Passionate about clean code, video games, and hitting the slopes.

About Me

I'm a passionate full-stack developer who loves creating digital experiences that push boundaries. My journey in tech started with curiosity and has evolved into a deep passion for building innovative solutions.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me grinding through video games or carving fresh tracks on the mountain. These passions fuel my creativity and help me approach problems from unique angles.

I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and staying on the cutting edge of technology. Every project is an opportunity to learn something new and create something amazing.
