Background

About me

Java developer with 3+ years of experience building web applications using Spring Boot, Hibernate, Thymeleaf, and AWS. Currently completing a master's degree in computer science, where I've worked on projects involving machine learning and recommendation systems.

Outside of work I read, write, and spend time with my family. I'm a husband and father, and I believe that a balanced life makes for a better developer.
