I am a Developer
About
Web Developer
After years of crafting memorable experiences in restaurants and coffee shops, I took a leap into the world of web development—driven by curiosity, creativity, and a desire to build. I recently completed a web development traineeship where I honed my skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and SQL diving deep into API integration and debugging with precision and clarity.
Background
My background in hospitality sharpened my ability to adapt quickly, communicate effectively, and tackle challenges with a calm, methodical mindset. Now, as a developer, I channel those strengths into writing clean, efficient code and creating thoughtful digital experiences.
