What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in software development.

I am a motivated and self-driven junior full stack developer with a strong foundation in React, PHP, and MySQL. My hands-on experience includes building and deploying real-world applications, showcasing my proficiency in both frontend and backend development workflows. I have a good understanding of modern version control and agile methodologies, which allows me to work effectively in collaborative environments.

Currently, I am finalizing an end-to-end e-commerce application that highlights my technical and problem-solving abilities. This project involves developing full-featured user authentication with JWT, implementing product listings, cart functionality, and checkout logic. I am also actively exploring modern deployment platforms like Netlify and Render, further enhancing my skill set.
