Quantifying my expertise and impact through measurable achievements
My Story
Hi, I'm a full-stack developer based in Leeds with over 3 years of experience building web applications. My interest started with curiosity about how websites work, and over time I realized I really enjoy creating digital solutions that actually help people and businesses.
I mainly work with Next.js and React, and lately I've been exploring AI integration to make apps smarter and more useful. I've worked on everything from custom web apps to e-commerce platforms and tools that automate tasks.
When I'm not coding, I like to tinker with new tech, build side projects, and share what I learn with the developer community. I'm always trying to stay up-to-date and improve my skills because technology moves fast, and I love being part of that journey.
