About Me
Computer Science student passionate about software development and problem-solving
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Maryland with a growing passion for software development, UI/UX design, and problem-solving through technology.
Currently sharpening my skills in full-stack web development and exploring real-world applications through personal and academic projects.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me at the gym, working on my drawing skills, or creating content for my YouTube channel. I believe in writing code that's not just functional, but maintainable and scalable. Every project is an opportunity to learn something new and push the boundaries of what's possible.
