About Me
I am an aspiring full-stack developer skilled in React, TypeScript, and modern CSS frameworks. I am passionate about creating responsive and user-friendly web applications that combine thoughtful design with solid engineering for performance and accessibility. I am about to complete my Master of Information Technology at Monash University and plan to reside in Melbourne, Australia.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Advertising Specialist at Fastlane, where I gained deep experience in digital marketing and user analytics. This background helps me design products that are both data-informed and user-centered. Outside of coding, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring virtual worlds from Summoner's Rift to Hyrule.
