About Me
I'm a self-taught full-stack developer with 2 years of experience building personal projects. I focus on writing clean TypeScript code across the entire stack, from React frontends to Node.js backends with real databases.
I've built chat applications, task managers, CRUD systems, web scrapers, CLI tools, desktop apps, and landing pages. I'm actively looking for my first professional role to grow as a developer and contribute to a team.
