About
I'm a Software Developer and Founding Engineer at HAVN, passionate about building full-stack applications that solve real problems. With experience in React, Python, and cloud technologies, I create intuitive user experiences backed by robust, scalable systems. I also love hackathons and attend them for fun! I love the adrenaline, thrive in fast-paced environments, and love turning ideas into production-ready software. Outside of coding, I play basketball and stay active.
