Hello!
I specialize in computer science, cybersecurity, and data analytics, with a focus on fullstack development. I’m always challenging myself to learn more and explore new technologies. Outside of coding, I’m involved in hackathons, CTF challenges, and data-driven projects. I enjoy turning complex problems into simple and elegant solutions. Outside of tech, I love traveling, hiking, camping, gaming, music, and skateboarding.
