About Me
Passionate about programming, I always put in the effort required to deliver the best possible solutions. I enjoy learning about all aspects of software development: from databases and full-stack development to working with various APIs and seamlessly integrating complex systems and frameworks. I successfully applied this mindset in my bachelor's thesis, where I built an application for planning mountain hiking trails from scratch. Through this, I transformed a conceptual idea into a fully functional app using Laravel, Livewire, MySQL, Tailwind CSS, and Leaflet.js.
I like to challenge myself and push my limits by tapping into my competitive spirit, which is why I participate in numerous competitions. One of my greatest achievements is securing 2nd place at the ProDay programming contest for two consecutive years (2025 and 2026).
When I'm not writing code, I enjoy reading and travelling by train. I have a genuine and deep appreciation for the unique atmosphere of local train stations. I simply enjoy that environment—observing all sorts of people and catching bits of conversation as life takes its course.
