Summary

I’m currently focused on building my skills in web development after completing a course in fullstack development, where I gained hands-on experience with JavaScript, React, Node.js, and MongoDB. During this time, I worked on several personal projects, including a fullstack application for users to purchase and manage proxies, which involved building an admin dashboard and integrating Discord API for notifications.

In addition to web development, I’m also actively expanding my knowledge in data analysis, focusing on tools like Excel, Python (Pandas, NumPy), and SQL to better understand and interpret data. I believe these analytical skills will complement my development background and open up opportunities to work with data-driven applications. I’m constantly learning and improving my overall IT skills, exploring areas like networking and cloud computing, to stay adaptable in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

I’ve always had a passion for technology and problem-solving, and this has driven me to pursue a career in development while continuously learning in other areas of tech. I’m eager to apply my skills in a real-world environment, and I believe this role aligns perfectly with my interests, skills, and aspirations.
