Coding solutions. Writing clarity. Open for freelance gigs.

I'm a web developer focused on building responsive applications with React and modern tools. I am currently exploring backend development and system design, working primarily with Java and Spring Boot. I've built front-end interfaces, backend systems with REST APIs, written and published some articles/blogs, and experimented with IoT and Robotics projects. I enjoy solving problems across the stack and continuously learning new technologies.
