I’m a Junior Web Developer who loves the whole idea of creating things and solving problems. I’m big on noticing the small nuances—whether it’s behaviour in a UI, logic in a feature, or the way different parts of an app connect. Full-stack problem solving is where I feel most at home, and I enjoy taking ideas from nothing and turning them into something real, useful, and well structured.
My approach mixes creativity, logic, and attention to detail. My faith is also a big part of who I am — it keeps me grounded, intentional, and focused on building things that genuinely help people.
My main comfort zone is React and TypeScript — that’s the stack where everything clicks for me.
I like structure, but I also learn by breaking things down until they make sense.
I enjoy building with React Native, especially when it comes to UI, animations, and getting creative with user experience.
I started with Python, so that’s always been part of my foundation — it taught me the logic and problem-solving mindset I use everywhere now.
