About

I'm an innovative Software Engineer with a knack for turning complex challenges into creative solutions. With over 3 years of experience in full-stack development , I thrive on pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Proficient in front-end technologies HTML, CSS, JavaScript and frameworks like React, Angular & Vue, I craft intuitive user interfaces that leave a lasting impression.

Beyond coding, you'll often find me experimenting with different musical instruments, and finding joy in the creative process of making music .It's a delightful balance that adds a rhythm to both my professional and personal pursuits.
