👋 Hi, my name is
I'm a software engineer specializing in building full-stack web applications with React/NextJS frontend and Python Django backend. My goal is to build large-scale applications used by millions of people.
I am a software engineer from the UK with a passion for building web applications and learning about the latest advancements in the software engineering and tech industry.
I recently graduated with a first-class honours in Computer Science from the Goldsmiths, University of London. During my degree I also worked as a smart contract engineer, writing Rust code, for blockchain projects in the Solana ecosystem. My focus now has shifted towards web development, in particular ReactJS/NextJS for frontend and Python Django for the backend.
Previously, I have worked as a freelance developer, however I am now actively looking for a new full-time role based in the UK.
Here are some of the technologies I have been working with recently:
Featured Project

They can save their designs to use again and apply to all products found in the store. Designs are transformed into high-resolution images, ready for printing onto apparel. Built using a stack of React JS, Next JS, Tailwind, Django, and Docker.
