About Me

I'm a passionate software engineer specializing in Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Maven, MySQL, React, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript. I focus on creating clean, efficient, and user-friendly applications.

My journey in software development began with building simple websites as a teenager, which sparked my curiosity about how technology works. Since then, I've worked on a variety of projects ranging from web applications to developer tools.

When I'm not coding, you can find me reading, exercising, and spending time with my family.
