About Me

I am a passionate, quick-learning, and pragmatic software engineer who enjoys designing and building high-quality software solutions while tackling complex problems. I have a strong interest in experimenting with new technologies and frameworks to discover more effective ways to develop software. I have received multiple company awards and have been recognized as the best-achieving graduate year after year. I am proficient in Go, Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript, and I have a keen appreciation for design patterns. I am also currently exploring the blockchain area as interest.
