My Guiding Principles

Accessibility First

I believe the web is for everyone. I prioritize building inclusive interfaces that meet WCAG standards to ensure a great experience for all users.

Clean & Maintainable Code

I write code that is not just functional but also readable and well-organized, making it easy for my future self and others to maintain and build upon.

Lifelong Learning

Technology is always evolving, and so am I. I am constantly exploring new tools and techniques to improve my craft and solve problems more effectively.
