About
My journey in development began as a teenager, creating free websites on Geocities and using Flash. That early exposure to the internet sparked a lasting passion for technology, leading to the expertise I have today.
Outside of coding, I enjoy disconnecting by training for triathlons or exploring new places. Whether it's discovering exotic destinations or simply relaxing, I value both adventure and downtime. Coming from a large family, I’ve learned the importance of teamwork and collaboration.
