I am a Master's student in Computer Science based in the United States, with a strong interest in Full Stack Development. My technical background includes hands-on experience with both front-end and back-end technologies, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, and databases like MySQL and MongoDB. As an international student on an F-1 visa, I am eligible for CPT/OPT and currently seeking opportunities to apply my skills in real-world software development environments. I'm passionate about building efficient, user-friendly applications and continuously learning new technologies to improve my craft. This portfolio highlights my academic work, hands-on projects (including this site), and API integration skills, all developed as part of the Web Application Programming and Hacking (WAPH) course.

Interests

Beyond coding and building amazing web experiences, I find joy in the delicate art of hand embroidery, where every stitch tells a story of patience and creativity. When I’m not crafting with thread, I love the exhilarating rush of rollercoaster rides—the perfect blend of thrill and adventure that fuels my passion for challenges. And after a day of fast-paced coding, nothing beats unwinding with mystery movies that keep me on the edge of my seat, sharpening my love for puzzles and storytelling. These passions inspire me to bring creativity, excitement, and curiosity into everything I do.
