Resume

I’m a software engineer with an entrepreneurial mindset, focused on building scalable, user-centered tools using FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS. With experience in both full-stack and AI development, I bring a strong foundation in Python, Docker, and CI/CD, and a drive to solve real-world problems through thoughtful engineering and innovation.

Projects

Internships teach me a lot—but it’s my side projects where I really explore, experiment, and build. From AI tools to full-stack apps, I follow my curiosity wherever it leads.
