About Me

Welcome to my portfolio! I am a full-stack developer with experience in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js). I build scalable, user-focused web applications, design clean REST APIs, and care deeply about performance, reliability, and great UX. A Graduate in MS in Computer Science at the University at Buffalo, I am passionate about solving complex problems and shipping impactful products.
