About Me

Over the past two years, I’ve grown into a well-rounded software developer by tackling real-world challenges in mobile and web development. Working with Flutter, Firebase, and the MERN stack has taught me how to build scalable applications, optimize performance, and integrate third-party APIs effectively. I’ve learned the importance of designing intuitive user experiences, handling authentication securely, and implementing backend systems that support real-time data updates. Through various projects, I’ve also gained experience in debugging, testing, and refining code to improve efficiency and maintainability. Beyond technical skills, my experiences have strengthened my ability to collaborate, communicate, and adapt in different environments. Teaching computer science with Microsoft TEALS pushed me to break down complex topics and explain them clearly, reinforcing my own understanding of core programming principles. Freelancing and leading small development projects have taught me how to gather requirements, manage timelines, and deliver quality software that meets client expectations. These experiences have also deepened my appreciation for teamwork, as I’ve worked alongside designers, developers, and stakeholders to bring ideas to life. I’m also passionate about self-improvement and continuous learning. Reading personal development books has helped me develop a growth mindset, stay disciplined in my studies, and approach problem-solving more effectively. My pursuit of an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification has expanded my knowledge of cloud computing, and my ongoing Bachelor’s in Software Engineering (graduating December 2026) keeps me engaged with both foundational and emerging technologies. As I continue refining my skills, I’m excited to take on new challenges, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and contribute to impactful software solutions.
