I got into coding through a mix of side projects and spending time working alongside developers, product managers, and data analytics teams. Being part of those conversations and seeing how things were built made me want to try it for myself — and what started as curiosity just stuck.
Recently, I've been working on features like payment flows in a subscriptions app, originally built to help troubleshoot API integration issues for merchants at work. I’ve also been building an interactive map site for a separate project, which came out of a personal interest in gardening and a lack of existing resources. It’s turned into a way to combine tech with something more community-focused.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar and gardening in my small urban courtyard. This site is a showcase of some projects I've built — mostly using React, Node, MongoDB, and Tailwind CSS.
