My Story
I'm a passionate software engineer with hands-on experience spanning from traditional banking technology to modern full-stack development. My journey began in the banking sector where I led technology transformation projects and managed development lifecycles.
I completed my Master's degree in Information Technology at the University of New South Wales, where I developed several comprehensive projects including a car space rental platform, interactive learning system, and social networking application. These projects showcased my expertise in React, TypeScript, Node.js, and cloud technologies.
I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and staying current with the latest technologies. When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new places through road trips, discovering international cuisines, or playing tennis. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and take on challenging projects.
