About
From web platforms and mobile apps to desktop software and workflow automation — I help businesses turn ideas into reliable, scalable products.
My Story
How I got here, and what I'm looking for next.
I'm a Software Engineering undergraduate at the Java Institute for Advanced Technology (JIAT). What started as curiosity about how websites work became a full-time habit: designing products in Figma, building them with React, Next.js, and Java, and shipping them to real users.
Through freelance work I've delivered real-world projects end to end — from gathering client requirements and designing UI/UX in Figma, to building responsive front-ends and deploying production applications. I found that the projects I'm proudest of are the ones where the business result is visible: less manual work, faster processes, happier customers.
I'm currently looking for a software development internship where I can contribute to a professional team, learn from senior engineers, and keep shipping software that matters.
What I Believe
Four principles that shape every project I take on.
Readable, well-structured code that the next developer — or future me — can extend without fear.
Plain updates, honest timelines, and no surprises. You always know where the project stands.
Software is a means, not an end. I design around the outcome you actually want.
I'd rather under-promise and deliver early than over-promise and miss.
Skills
Organised by role — frontend, backend, data, devices, and the tools around them.
Experience
