Backend Developer

A self-taught backend developer who loves building backend systems, integrating APIs, and solving real-world problems—no degree, just grit and code.

About me

I'm a software developer with 2.5 years of experience, mostly working on React-based web applications—converting Figma designs into interactive features, enhancing frontend functionality, and implementing backend APIs.

While I have experience across the full stack, my primary focus is backend development.
