I work as a Product Engineer, where I primarily focus on frontend development. My work involves building and maintaining web applications using a variety of technologies such as React, Vite, Next.js, Electron, and Flutter.

Over the past few months, I've been working on a few side projects. I have also been writing a lot about the things I learn and the things I build. I'm also an avid reader and I love to read books on fiction, fantasy, and crime.
