About Me

As a passionate software engineering student, I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and apply my skills to real-world problems. My academic journey has provided me with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design principles. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn from experienced professionals.

My interests lie in full-stack development, machine learning, and cloud computing. I believe in writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code, and I am committed to continuous improvement. Outside of coding, I enjoy exploring new technologies, listening to educational and science videos (Veritasium,Vsauce,3Blue1Brown), and contributing to open-source projects.
