Who Am I?
There are many words that could describe me, but above all, I am a perpetual student. Learning is my greatest source of joy and has driven me to pursue diverse paths. I hold the roles of Project Manager, Scrum Master, and Full Stack Developer, but I am always eager to expand my knowledge and skills. My educational journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology, along with the Project Management Professional (PMP) and Scrum Master (CSM) certifications. Additionally, I have completed a comprehensive six-month Full Stack Software Development bootcamp.
Among my various passions, software development holds a special place in my heart. Ever since writing my first 'Hello World' program nearly seven years ago, I have been captivated by the intricacies of this dynamic field. Exploring its complexity, I have created numerous applications, some of which are showcased on my Portfolio site .
Beyond my professional pursuits, I find great fulfillment in a range of non-professional activities. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, allowing me to immerse myself in diverse worlds and broaden my perspective. Baking is another passion that brings me joy, as I experiment with flavors, textures, and techniques to create delightful treats. Additionally, I enjoy the serenity and adventure that comes with hiking, allowing me to connect with nature and embrace the beauty of the great outdoors.
By embracing my insatiable thirst for knowledge, passion for software development, and love for non-professional endeavors, I strive to lead a well-rounded and fulfilling life. I invite you to explore my personal website, where you can learn more about my professional journey, explore my projects, and get a glimpse into the things that ignite my curiosity and passion beyond the realm of work.
