Summary

A seasoned mobile and web applications developer with over 6 years of experience. I specialise in creating efficient, scalable, and user-friendly cross-platform mobile and web applications. My passion for clean code and innovative solutions drives me to constantly learn and improve.

Music has always been more than just a hobby for me; it's a lifelong passion.I rap, write songs, and produce, exploring every angle of sound and storytelling. It all started with a simple wish to hear my own voice on what I called 'the radio'—really, the new MP3 player my mom had bought me. To me, it was pure magic. That early spark grew over the years into a creative outlet and, eventually, one of the most meaningful parts of my life. Music, for me, is a canvas—a medium for expression, a way to capture emotion, and a space to tell stories that connect

A skilled mobile and web developer with 6+ years of experience, I build scalable, user-friendly applications with a passion for clean code and innovation. Beyond tech, music is my lifelong obsession—I rap, write, and produce, turning emotion into sound and stories. What started as a childhood dream of hearing my voice on "the radio" became a deep creative journey, shaping one of the most meaningful parts of my life
