In 2017, I realized I had no real understanding of how computers actually worked. This curiosity led me to MIT's Introduction to Computer Science course. I was blown away by the content, and I've been immersed in programming ever since.
Over the past eight years, alongside my university degree, I've taken a variety of courses online—not just to learn the fundamentals of programming, but also to explore different disciplines like mobile development, artificial intelligence, and low-level systems programming in C.
My areas of expertise include Swift, Objective-C, UIKit, SwiftUI, and C, along with architectural patterns like MVC and MVVM. While my roots are deeply planted in Apple platforms, I’m also comfortable working with modern web technologies, including TypeScript, React, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and RESTful APIs.
I enjoy exploring a wide range of topics, particularly the intersection of computer science, psychology, and the philosophy of mind. I am fascinated by the nature of intelligence—how inert matter can give rise to complex thought—as well as programming paradigms and how languages shape the way we express ideas.
I'm a strong believer in learning by building. I build software to learn, to have fun, and to share with others. This philosophy recently culminated in my flagship project, EggScript—an interactive educational programming platform available across Apple and web platforms.
