About Me

Hey, I'm a computer engineering student who's genuinely passionate about tech and building real things that make a difference. I've always been curious about how things work, especially when it comes to electronics and software — and that curiosity has turned into a real drive to learn more and work on meaningful projects.

I enjoy being part of a team, bouncing around ideas, and finding creative solutions together. I've worked on some cool projects (and a few failed ones too), but every experience has taught me something new. I'm the kind of person who likes figuring things out hands-on, even if it takes a few tries.

Right now, I'm especially interested in smart systems, IoT, and anything that mixes hardware with software. I'm still learning a lot, but I love that process — and I'm always looking for chances to improve, grow, and contribute to projects that actually matter.
