Crafting digital experiences that bridge the gap between imagination and reality

My Journey

From university curiosity to leading teams - here's how I evolved as a developer

🎓 The Spark

Though I was studying networking at university, my journey into programming truly began during a final-year project where I built a mobile app using image recognition to help kids identify animals and plants. That project sparked something big, and fast forward a few years, I’m now contributing to projects across the telco, enterprise, and government sectors.

🎯 The Philosophy

Technology is my medium. Impact is my goal. I'm the kind of developer who gets just as excited about solving user problems as writing clean code. Over time, continuous learning became second nature, especially when there's a real-world problem to crack.

🚀 The Evolution

These days, I work across the full stack with a strong focus on performance and user experience. I enjoy both frontend and backend, but no matter the layer, it's always about creating something useful and user-first. Beyond development, I've also stepped into consulting and business analyst roles—talking to users, gathering requirements, and shaping solutions before the first line of code is written.

👥 The Leadership

Right now, I lead a frontend team where I mentor others, run tech briefings, and make sure everyone's aligned. I believe in putting the right people in the right spots, helping them grow while keeping the work impactful and collaborative.
