    About Me

    Software developer with a security mindset, passionate about building secure and efficient applications.

    Builder's Statement

    I believe that great software is built at the intersection of functionality and security. My background in cybersecurity gives me a unique perspective on development—I don't just think about what code can do, but also what it shouldn't do. Whether I'm building a React dashboard or designing an API, I approach every project with security-first principles and a commitment to clean, maintainable code.

    I'm constantly learning new technologies and methodologies, driven by curiosity and the desire to solve complex problems. My goal is to create software that not only meets user needs but also stands up to the evolving threat landscape of modern applications.
