Years Coding

I create digital experiences that matter.

I started my coding journey during the lockdown, initially out of curiosity with Python and web fundamentals. Over the years, I've evolved into a full-stack developer, working on diverse projects from mobile apps to web platforms.

My experience includes freelancing for various clients, integrating AI technologies, building real-time applications, and now interning at NMS Softwares where I focus on scalable solutions and cloud deployments.
