About me

My lifelong fascination with technology stems from a childhood curiosity for taking things apart, though computers always remained a captivating mystery. Driven to understand how software works, I'm pursuing a Computer Science degree, honing my skills in Java and Python, with a solid foundation in C/C++. I'm also expanding my knowledge through web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and exploring functional programming with Scala. I thrive on challenging problems and embrace continuous learning, believing that every day holds an opportunity for discovery. Beyond coding, you'll find me immersed in video games, on the basketball court, pushing my limits at the gym, or enjoying a good book
