About

I'm a software developer specializing in backend systems and mobile applications, currently pursuing an engineering degree in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science.

With hands-on experience building production systems in Go (Gin) and mobile apps with Dart (Flutter), I focus on scalable APIs, high-performance platforms, and seamless user experiences.

Driven by curiosity and a passion for innovation, I'm actively building expertise in Generative AI—combining solid engineering fundamentals with cutting-edge AI to create impactful, intelligent solutions.
