Early curiosity
- Built static websites for local initiatives, sparking an interest in web fundamentals.
- Explored C++ and algorithms through community coding clubs.
The story behind my builder mindset.
I grew up fascinated by how information travels—how a simple interface can connect communities, or how technology can level learning. That fascination evolved into a focus on back-end engineering where performance, data, and accessibility intersect.
