About Me

A brief introduction and the technologies I use.

Developer illustration

I’m a creative full-stack developer based in London, with a strong focus on building clean, accessible, and practical web applications. My experience spans both front-end and back-end development, gained through university studies, online courses, and real projects I have built.

I’m adaptable to work with many frameworks and languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, PHP, Node.js, design REST APIs and relational databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. I enjoy writing code, and see my projects come to life.

I am also interested in cloud technologies, software design and security, and continuously learning new tools and best practices.
