My journey began in Electronics and Communication Engineering, but a passion for software development led me to master modern tech stacks through self-learning. I’ve built projects like competitive programming platforms and code execution engines, leveraging tools like NATS, Redis, and AWS.

I’m also exploring blockchain with Solidity and Web3.js, and I enjoy experimenting with Fedora GNOME, often tweaking my setup to optimize my workflow. Staying updated via tech YouTube keeps me inspired to tackle new challenges.
