About

I like exploring different fields through hands-on projects. Development lets me build applications, and my role as a product manager is teaching me how to understand a client’s needs and organize a team’s work.

I’m also interested in consulting and finance, which I’m exploring further through a portfolio analysis project. Alongside that, I’m learning to use AI to develop more efficiently, while paying close attention to understanding and verifying the code.
