About Myself

I'm a developer whose journey began with a quirky Discord bot and a dream to build a game. Six years later, I've evolved into a professional developer fueled by curiosity, persistence, and a love for solving problems.

Before programming, I was a music producer—a passion that remains close to my heart. I've always loved creating, whether it was composing tracks or exploring new instruments. At one point, I was also deeply invested in 3D art and even considered pursuing it as a career. However, when COVID hit, I had to pivot to a more stable path. A job opportunity as a software developer came my way, and I took it to pay the bills. What started as a necessity quickly turned into a passion, setting me on the path to where I am today.

While game development didn't become my final destination (math turned out to be a tougher boss than I'd expected), those early experiments with Discord bots and chaotic while loops shaped my foundation as a developer. Forgetting a break in a while loop and watching everything crash unexpectedly wasn't just a lesson—it was a rite of passage. Each bug, segfault, and unintentional infinite loop pushed me to dig deeper, think critically, and develop the problem-solving mindset that defines my work today.

Now, I'm a software engineer at AYOMI, where I contribute to the creation and maintenance of the company's design system, lead frontend development with React, and build robust backend services using Python and FastAPI.

Although my career shifted away from 3D and music takes a backseat, both remain important to me. I still enjoy learning new instruments and creating music when I can, and these creative outlets continue to shape my approach to coding, blending artistry with technical skill.
