About me

I'm a Software Engineer with a B.S. from Bethlehem University and hands-on experience across the full stack: Java/Spring Boot, PHP/Laravel, React, and Flutter.

I've built and shipped e-commerce, social networking, and AI-assisted navigation applications from design through deployment. I'm comfortable moving between frontend, backend, and mobile, and I use generative AI tools in practice to speed up development.

I'm looking for a Software Engineer role where I can contribute strong fundamentals, fast learning, and a builder's mindset, and I take on freelance projects for businesses.
