Summary
I'm an aspiring developer with a background in design, currently focused on strengthening my technical skills through hands-on projects. I’m drawn to the creative problem-solving in coding and enjoy the challenge of turning ideas into well-structured, functional systems. I’m particularly interested in AI and other technology areas, not just in how they work, but how they can be built and used with care. I’m looking for an opportunity to grow through real-world development work and contribute to projects that push me to think and build better.
