01 - About

A bit about me.

The short version

Developer in training through _nology, sharpening a tech foundation I built years ago. I have a Bachelor's in Electronics & Instrumentation, and started my career as a QA Analyst - which taught me to obsess over the details users actually feel.

The design itch

Alongside QA, I ran and curated my own design-inspiration sites for years. That's where my eye for typography, layout and what makes a thing genuinely good got trained up.

Outside the screen

Big foodie - always cooking something new or hunting down the next dumpling spot. Films, travel, interior design, anything aesthetic. If it looks considered, I'm in.

Right now

Shipping projects, learning React and looking for a team that cares about craft - both code and pixels. This portfolio will keep growing as I do.
