What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to grow in a collaborative environment that values innovation and creativity.

I'm a passionate junior software developer with hands-on experience in C#, .NET MAUI, and full-stack projects. My journey in technology has been driven by a desire to build practical, user-focused solutions that enhance everyday experiences. I thrive on challenges and continuously seek to improve my skills, particularly in AI, IoT, and database-driven applications.

Throughout my career, I have developed various applications, including an AI-powered file analysis and keyword extraction app that integrates OpenAI API for advanced text processing. I have also created an AI-based posture correction system for physical exercise, utilizing YOLOv8 and MediaPipe for real-time analysis. My experience includes managing full-stack development, collaborating with teams using Scrum methodology, and ensuring smooth project flows through effective version control and documentation.
