About
I am a full-stack software engineer with experience across frontend, backend, and infrastructure domains. I use Python and TypeScript to develop APIs and automate solutions for complex challenges. My interest in programming extends beyond my professional responsibilities; I dedicate my free time to building tools and pursuing creative projects. Additionally, I am an avid DIY enthusiast and enjoy playing video games with friends.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Bioinformatics. I approach engineering challenges with curiosity and creativity, prioritizing novel solutions before adopting established patterns.
