Strengths
My key strengths are problem-solving, product thinking, and adaptability. I’m comfortable moving between frontend and backend work, and I enjoy understanding why something is being built, not just how.
I also have a strong eye for user experience and clarity, which helps me build interfaces that are not only functional but intuitive. I’m a collaborative communicator and learn quickly when exposed to new tools or domains.
Interested in working involving
I’m seeking a junior to mid-level software engineering role in a startup or small team where I can work closely on a real product, take ownership of features, and grow quickly. I’m particularly interested mission-driven, creative, or sustainability-focused tech.

Work experience
Proudest professional achievement
A project I’m especially proud of is designing and prototyping a two-player card game that blends creativity and beauty with crisp, well-structured software. I built the core mechanics, rules, and progression systems, experimenting with how player choices, randomness, and constraints can create tension, discovery, and meaningful decisions.
The project became a space where I could combine imagination and design rigor — crafting experiences that feel thoughtful and elegant while thinking like an engineer: managing states, iterating on rules, and testing every interaction. It reinforced my passion for game development and for roles where creative problem-solving and software craftsmanship intersect.
