About me

🚀 My Journey

My journey started with a degree in Computer Science. I was always drawn to technology, so pursuing it felt like the natural path. As I explored the field, software development quickly became the part that excited me the most.

Writing code gave me the ability to turn ideas into real things, products people could actually use. That feeling of building something from nothing is what kept pulling me deeper into the craft.

🎨 Discovering Product Design

But as much as I enjoyed coding, I started noticing something missing. Building the functionality was exciting, but I became curious about how people actually experienced the products I was building.

That curiosity is what led me to product design. It gave me a new perspective not just thinking about how something works, but how it feels to use it and how easily people can understand it.

💻 Where Design Meets Code

As I explored both sides, I realized the part I enjoy most is where design and engineering meet. It's one thing to design an interface, but bringing it to life in code is a completely different challenge.

That's where I feel most at home, translating ideas, flows, and interactions into real products that people can actually use.

Today I focus on building interfaces that don't just look good, but behave clearly and feel natural when people interact with them.

Beyond tech

Outside of tech, you'll often find me enjoying a good cup of coffee while I explore new ideas and ways to improve my craft. I love discovering new things – whether it's a design trend, a piece of technology, or just a fresh perspective on life. And when it comes to food, I'm all about healthy, organic choices.
