Full-Stack Web Developer focused on building real-world web applications using React, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL.
I recently completed The Odin Project Full-Stack Web Development curriculum, where I built several production-style projects covering authentication, database design, API development, and modern frontend patterns.
Currently seeking a Software Engineering Internship where I can contribute to real products and continue improving as a developer.
