About Me
Passionate about building intelligent solutions that make a difference
I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for creating innovative solutions that blend web technologies with machine learning capabilities. With expertise in both frontend and backend development, I build scalable applications that solve real-world problems through intelligent automation.
My journey took an unconventional path - I began my career in disaster management before transitioning back to my roots in tech. This unique background gives me a problem-solving perspective that combines crisis response thinking with technical innovation. I've since worked on diverse projects ranging from FinTech platforms to intelligent multi-agent systems, always focused on writing clean, maintainable code and creating intuitive user experiences.
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring emerging technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or sharing knowledge with the developer community. I'm always eager to take on new challenges and collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of what's possible.
