Summary
A versatile full-stack software engineer who thrives at the intersection of frontend finesse and backend architecture. I bring ideas to life by crafting seamless user experiences while architecting robust systems under the hood. With an insatiable curiosity for emerging technologies and a knack for solving complex technical puzzles, I constantly push the boundaries of what's possible. Whether it's optimising API performance or perfecting pixel-perfect interfaces, I find joy in mastering both worlds of modern software development.
