The words 'About Me' spelled out in stylized letters.

I'm a full-stack software developer with a background in the medical field, driven by a passion for solving problems creatively. My coding journey began with a desire to build intuitive web applications that improve people's lives — a natural extension of my years helping others in healthcare. I work primarily with the MERN stack, and what excites me most about coding is the challenge — the frustration of hitting roadblocks and the rewarding sense of accomplishment that comes with pushing through them. I'm always learning, whether it's mastering new technologies or refining what I know. When I'm not coding, you'll find me snowboarding or exploring new hiking trails.

Hobbies

When I step away from the screen, I chase adrenaline and fresh mountain air. Snowboarding, a passion I've honed for over 15 years, has taught me persistence, risk management, and the importance of constantly pushing my limits—qualities I apply both on the slopes and in coding. Hiking offers me the opportunity to disconnect and recharge, allowing me to clear my mind and find inspiration in nature's beauty. Reading, whether it's a tech book or a novel, provides me with a way to unwind and explore new ideas. Whether diving into a gripping story or gaining fresh perspectives on technology, reading helps fuel my creativity and problem-solving skills. These activities together help me maintain a balanced mindset, allowing me to approach coding with clarity, focus, and renewed energy.

Medical Experience

My journey into tech wasn’t a straight path. After several years in the medical field, I transitioned into software development, where I apply the same passion for helping people—now through creating thoughtful, intuitive applications. My medical background taught me to approach challenges with care, precision, and a deep understanding of the importance of user-centered solutions

Volunteer Work

I spent four years volunteering at a hospital during high school, where I learned patience, teamwork, and the value of solving real-world problems. That same mindset now drives my passion for building applications that have a meaningful impact and make a difference in people's lives.
