About Me

As a front-end developer with over 3 years of experience, I've developed a deep expertise in crafting responsive, user-centric web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. My approach combines technical precision with creative problem-solving to deliver exceptional user experiences.

I specialize in modern web development practices, including state management with Redux and Zustand, efficient API integrations, building high quality products on the web 3 and blockchain ecosystem and mobile-first design principles. My work focuses on creating performant, accessible applications that make a real impact.

Beyond coding, I'm an advocate for knowledge sharing and community building in the tech space. I believe in the power of continuous learning and enjoy exploring new technologies while helping others grow in their development journey.

When I step away from the keyboard, you'll find me exploring hiking trails, experimenting with new recipes, or practicing yoga—activities that fuel my creativity and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
