Software Developer, UI UX Designer
As a developer and UX designer, I build elegant, scalable applications with intuitive interfaces so users enjoy seamless journeys while your product performs flawlessly.
I'm a motivated ICT student building modern web and mobile apps with a dual lens as a full-stack developer and UI/UX designer. I leverage React.js and Next.js to craft scalable, interactive web applications, using component-based architectures, hooks, and responsive design for seamless UX. On mobile, I develop clean, efficient Android applications using Kotlin, often with Jetpack Compose for declarative UI and streamlined design. My workflow bridges clean, maintainable code with intuitive interfaces ensuring every project is not only functional, but also a joy for users to engage with.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to level up my skills in cloud computing, learning platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to build scalable, reliable backend infrastructure. Cloud expertise will enable me to deploy full-stack applications with on-demand provisioning, serverless architecture, and CI/CD automation making it easier to ship faster, scale more flexibly, and collaborate across teams. Understanding cloud services like IaaS, PaaS, and serverless will let me take holistic ownership of the app lifecycle from wireframe to production while staying current with industry trends and boosting resilience, scalability, and efficiency.
