About Me
Passionate full-stack web developer and a natural problem-solver. I love to create well-crafted applications to solve common problems.
I have an extensive range of experience in programming languages, and I am always looking to challenge myself and learn new technologies. My current tech stack of choice is VILT (Vue, Inertia, Laravel, TailwindCSS) and I am currently interested in Ionic Framework and PWA for mobile applications.
