About me

After obtaining my degree in Nursing, I chose to delve into my enthusiasm for programming. I joined a coding bootcamp at Neuefische School , where I acquired skills in Frontend Web Development. What I relish most about programming is the challenge of problem-solving and the thrill of crafting innovative solutions. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My primary skills lies in React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB.

Additionally, I've been brushing up on Typescript and web design principles and familiarizing myself with design tools such as Figma. The synergy between design and development intrigues me, making projects not only functional but also visually appealing.

Beyond the world of coding, my background in Nursing offers a unique lens, especially in health-tech projects, bridging the gap between medical professionals and tech developers. In my leisure time, I embrace a love for physical activity, be it through running, swimming, or pushing my limits in crossfit. I'm also an ardent movie buff and treasure the time spent with my family. A fervent believer in lifelong learning, my weekends often involve attending workshops or online courses. My readings are currently steered towards politics, finance, and the nuances of global tech shifts.
