About Me

I’m a Software Engineer who loves building systems that actually make a difference. My main focus is on Java with Spring Boot and the MERN stack, which gives me the flexibility to work on both enterprise‑grade backends and modern web apps. I enjoy taking complex ideas and turning them into clear, practical applications that people can rely on. For me, the real satisfaction comes when something I’ve built helps someone solve a problem or makes their work easier. I’m especially interested in projects that bring real value, like logistics systems or career guidance platforms, because they show how tech can directly improve lives. Outside of the code, I’m curious about how businesses operate and how software can drive growth, efficiency, and innovation.
