About Me

A Glimpse of Who I Am in Under 400 Words

I'm the kind of person who sees a problem and thinks, "How can I fix this?" Whether it's debugging code, finding everyday life hacks, or helping friends figure stuff out, I get this itch to make things work better. That curiosity has been with me since I wrote my first "Hello World" back in 7th grade—and honestly, I'm still as excited about solving problems today as I was then.

These days, I work as a software developer with over four years of experience in full stack and hybrid mobile app development. I love the challenge of building things from scratch and seeing them come to life. One project I'm particularly proud of was helping build an online platform for cricket enthusiasts—combining my love for the sport with my passion for creating meaningful tech solutions.

When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me at the gym. There's something about lifting weights that just clicks with me—it's taught me discipline, consistency, and gives me that daily sense of achievement that keeps me grounded. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and biking when I want to mix things up, but the gym is where I find my rhythm.

I value the time I spend with my friends and the conversations that come with it. There's nothing quite like bouncing ideas off people you trust or just hanging out and letting your mind wander to new possibilities.
