About Me

I’m a Full-Stack Web Developer specializing in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js). I build scalable, high-performance web applications with clean design and seamless user experiences. In addition to full-stack development, I also integrate AI-powered features into applications using APIs, making them smarter and more interactive. I’m passionate about transforming complex ideas into practical, user-focused digital solutions through modern technologies and thoughtful design. With a focus on clean code, innovation, and quality, I aim to create impactful products that connect creativity and technology.
