I am a software developer and cyber security student. I work on open-source software and ideas that keep me curious.

I discovered programming during the pandemic. “If they can do it, so can I” led me to build my first application, NAR.

Since then, I have been building personal projects, developing my problem-solving skills and curiosity with every experiment. Every project, whether completed, transformed, or a lesson in itself, is part of the journey.

Today, I look for simple solutions to real problems and still find that the best way to learn is to make.
