About Me
My Journey
My path into coding started with a simple YouTube tutorial - a six-hour Python crash course that completely hooked me! This spark led me to an internship at Arup, where I got to blend Python with structural and mechanical engineering. After diving deeper into Computer Science during my A-Levels, something just clicked - I knew software development was my calling. It's amazing how a single tutorial can set you on a path that feels so right!
What Drives Me
What gets me excited about coding is how it combines problem-solving with creativity. Whether I'm building a responsive website or debugging a tricky issue, I love that moment when everything falls into place. My engineering background taught me to approach problems systematically, but it's the creative freedom of coding that really makes me lose track of time. I'm constantly amazed by how a few lines of code can turn an idea into something real and impactful!

Beyond the Code
Life Beyond Tech
When I'm not crafting code, you'll likely find me on the basketball court! Being tall, I've heard "You must play basketball, right?" more times than I can count - and eventually, I decided to embrace it. Turns out, they were onto something - I absolutely love the game now!
Music is another big part of my life. I find peace at the piano keys, where I can express myself in a completely different way than I do through code. There's something magical about creating melodies that can move people, just like creating applications that can help them.
Creative Pursuits
My creative outlet? Video editing! I run a social media page where I bring my favorite movies and TV shows to life in a whole new way. Armed with After Effects and Premiere Pro, I love crafting edits that tell stories and evoke emotions.
This blend of technical skill and creative expression perfectly mirrors my approach to development - it's not just about making things work, it's about making them memorable and meaningful.
