IT enthusiast with expertise in web development and IT management.

What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment where I can apply my technical expertise in web development and IT management to drive innovation and share knowledge.

I'm a versatile IT professional with a strong foundation in full-stack web development, systems administration, and digital innovation. With hands-on experience in technologies like React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, MySQL, and Docker, I specialize in building scalable, reusable components that drive productivity and deliver real-world value.

Over the past decade, I’ve balanced roles in IT support, infrastructure management, and freelance development, while also teaching and mentoring the next generation of tech talent. Whether I’m building websites, setting up ERP systems, or automating IoT devices, I bring a problem-solving mindset and a passion for clean, client-focused solutions.

Currently focused on modern front-end frameworks and cloud-based workflows, I’m always looking for new ways to merge technical precision with user-centered design.
