About Me
I'm a passionate fullstack developer with 4+ years of experience creating digital solutions that make a difference. I love turning complex problems into simple, beautiful, and intuitive designs.
My Journey
My journey in software development began during my university years while pursuing Electrical and Electronics Engineering. In my second year, a programming class opened my eyes to the fascinating world of algorithms and computer science, igniting a passion that would reshape my career path.
The analytical thinking and problem-solving skills cultivated through electrical engineering provided the perfect foundation for transitioning into software development. The mathematical rigor, systems thinking, and logical approach inherent in engineering naturally translated to writing efficient code and architecting robust solutions.
Today, I leverage this unique blend of engineering principles and programming expertise as a full-stack developer. From designing intuitive user interfaces to building scalable backend systems, my engineering background enables me to approach software development with both technical precision and creative innovation.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring emerging technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or bridging the gap between hardware and software in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

Featured Projects
A showcase of my recent work, demonstrating various technologies and problem-solving approaches.
Custom CMS Powered Blog
A custom CMS-powered blog where I solved the challenge of enabling posts to be written in Markdown for simplicity and flexibility. I implemented a commenting and reply system with authentication to prevent bots and spam, while still keeping the UX smooth. I also had to balance performance with features like pagination, search, and post previews, making the blog scalable as content grows.
AI Chatbot
An AI-powered chatbot where the main challenge was maintaining conversational context across multiple turns, ensuring the bot remembered user input logically. I had to optimize prompt engineering, manage session state, and filter irrelevant or unsafe responses. Handling fallback scenarios and integrating the chatbot with an API to expand its knowledge also required careful design.
Portfolio Website
A clean, minimalist portfolio designed to highlight my projects without unnecessary clutter. I solved challenges around creating a smooth navigation system, responsive design, and fast-loading pages. I also integrated a 'Buy Me a Coffee' button, which meant handling small-scale payment integration securely. Beyond showcasing work, I focused on making the portfolio both functional and personal.
Other Projects
