About
I started coding out of curiosity — building small browser games and landing pages — and over time grew into developing complete products that balance design and engineering.
My stack includes TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, and PostgreSQL, but I love exploring new technologies that make the web better.
Outside of coding, I enjoy writing, contributing to open source, and teaching others what I've learned.

Even with frameworks evolving every month, I keep coming back to plain JavaScript. There's something pure about writing logic that runs instantly in the browser — no setup, no build step, just you and the code.

Building modern interfaces isn't about pages anymore — it's about systems. Thinking in components changes how you design, code, and even debug. Once you get it, you'll never build the same way again.
