About Me

I'm a software engineer who loves digging into how systems work and turning complex problems into fast, scalable solutions. I work across the stack - backend services, mobile, and web - always aiming for strong performance, reliability, and a smooth user experience.

With a solid foundation in CS fundamentals (DSA and system design), I'm comfortable entering new domains and translating complex requirements into efficient, production-ready code. Whether I'm architecting backend systems or crafting mobile and web interfaces, I focus on building high-performance applications that combine precise visuals with intuitive, user-centric design.
