This is Me
And This Is My Story
My journey started in the culinary world, where I spent six years honing my skills as a chef.
But my passion didn't stop there—I ventured into the realm of hospitality and spent the next five years as head waiter and bartender in high-end restaurants.
Along the way, I dabbled in marketing, exploring my creative side among other jobs.
Now, I have my sights set on becoming the best version of a full-stack web developer. My ultimate goal is to create applications that truly make a difference in people's lives.
