About
Hey, I’m a full-stack developer with a passion for building web apps and learning by doing. I recently completed an intensive full-stack development course, where I gained hands-on experience with both front-end and back-end technologies. I love breaking down complex problems and finding clean, effective solutions. I’m always eager to improve, whether that’s by writing better code, collaborating more effectively, or picking up a new tool or framework.
When I’m not coding, I love hosting friends and family for dinner and recharging on hikes or nature walks. I value strong connections—whether with my team or my family—and I’m excited to join a collaborative environment where I can grow and contribute. Thanks for stopping by—feel free to check out the projects I’ve been working on below!

Gazetteer auto-detects your country via the Geolocation API, or lets you manually select any nation to retrieve detailed information—such as population statistics, current weather, currency rates, and archaeological site overlays—while seamlessly switching between satellite, street, and custom map views. It’s built on a fully responsive design, so you get the same rich data and interactive controls on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers alike.
