What I Bring

🎯

Problem Solver

I don't just code—I identify real problems and build solutions. From reducing order errors to automating 2-hour tasks to 30 seconds.

🔒

Security-First Mindset

Every project includes authentication, input validation, and secure design. I think like an attacker to build like a defender.

🚀

Self-Directed Learner

I teach myself new technologies, debug independently, and ship working products. No hand-holding needed.
