About Me

As a senior software engineer with extensive experience in full-stack development, I specialize in building scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions. My expertise spans across cloud architecture, microservices, and emerging technologies.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring nature and capturing its beauty through my camera lens. This duality of technology and nature fuels my creativity and problem-solving skills.
