About

I’m a 23-year-old college student, dedicated husband, and proud father of two wonderful children, with a strong passion for software engineering. Over the past three years, I've focused on improving my skills in React, Java, Python, and machine learning. My curiosity and love for learning constantly drive me to seek new challenges and expand my knowledge in the field of software engineering.


Three years ago, I embarked on my programming journey, exploring various technologies and continuously improving my skills through learning and practice. My commitment to development is driven by curiosity and a desire to create innovative solutions.


When I learned I was going to be a father, I took a break from my development focus to prioritize my growing family. In 2024, with renewed passion, I resumed my dream of becoming a software engineer and am now actively pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science.


I have a profound interest in understanding not only how programs are developed, but more importantly, why they work. For me, striving for genuine understanding and consistent practice is not just essential for improvement—it's a passion and an obsession. I continually pursue the best version of myself.


I seek to surround myself with peers who have achieved what I aspire to, fostering growth, friendships, and invaluable learning experiences.

When it comes to full-stack development, I'm at my best using Django for the backend and React for the frontend. My passion for Python pushed me to explore Django, and it’s now my strongest backend asset.

I love stepping out of my comfort zone and working with new tech stacks. Right now, I’m learning Java + Spring Boot, and it’s been a challenging but rewarding experience.

As for my education goals in the near future, I plan on learning the MERN and LAMP stacks.
