Front End Developer

"Hey there! I'm a web developer who loves to dive deep into code, especially when it comes to front-end technologies like React.js and Next.js. I also have a good handle on back-end stuff with Node.js, Express, and Typescript. When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me exploring new tech, reading, or enjoying a good cup of coffee. Looking forward to connecting with you all!"
