I'm a full-stack developer with a passion for building applications that people actually use. What drives me isn't just writing code, it's creating solutions that solve real problems and make an actual difference in people's lives.

My professional experience has primarily been as a Backend Java Developer, where I've developed my skills in building scalable, performant server systems and plugins. Over the past few years, I've been actively expanding my full-stack capabilities through personal projects, with a particular focus on archives.bio, a passion project where I'm building a modern cloud storage platform that combines the functionality of file management with social media features.

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, majoring in Enterprise Systems Development with a submajor in Cybersecurity and Networking from the University of Technology, Sydney. My academic performance earned me a place on the Dean's List for 2025, achieving a High Distinction average with an overall 6.47 GPA (86.65 WAM) at the end of my degree.
