In some jobs, 10 minutes can feel like an hour. In coding, an hour can feel like 10 minutes – that’s when I realized where my passion truly lies. I love designing and building user-focused web-applications and interfaces.

I am an optimistic and positive individual known for my strong organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and meticulous attention to detail. With excellent interpersonal skills, I thrive in social settings, fostering positive connections with those around me. Additionally, I am a dedicated team player with a professional demeanor and a genuine desire to learn and grow. My passions extend to nature, outdoor activities, learning new languages, traveling, and sports such as soccer and cycling.
