About Me
I am a Graduate Software Engineer that enjoys building full-stack web applications that solve real problems, combining strong backend logic with clean, responsive user interfaces.
My core strength lies in software development and system design, particularly in Angular and ASP.NET Core. Alongside this, I have a growing interest in data analytics and intelligent systems, and I enjoy working with data to inform better application features and decision-making.
Through academic projects and personal work, I have gained hands-on experience designing RESTful APIs, implementing authentication and authorization, working with relational databases, and deploying applications to the cloud. I am motivated to grow into roles that sit at the intersection of software engineering, data, and applied AI.
