Student developer with a strong foundation in web, software, and cloud fundamentals. I focus on building practical, maintainable solutions that combine readable code, clean interfaces, and real API integrations. My background includes both academic projects and real-world production work, from building automated tools at Amazon to completing intensive full-stack training through the Global Career Accelerator. I enjoy debugging, documenting, and developing systems that solve actual problems rather than adding complexity.
