About Me

I’m someone who’s genuinely curious about how things work whether it’s electronics, software, or the way people interact with technology. I’m currently studying Electrical & Electronic Engineering, which has given me a solid foundation in both hardware and software systems. Over time, I’ve developed interests in areas like automation, renewable energy systems, and embedded technologies, and I’m always looking for ways to apply what I learn in real life.

Outside of my studies, I explore creative fields like graphic and brand design, and I’ve also been learning to code websites and simple applications. I believe in starting small, learning through trial and error, and improving consistently. I’m also interested in digital business models like trading, content creation, and online marketing, not just as a side hustle but as a way to understand the modern economy.

I’m not trying to be perfect or pretend I have it all figured out I’m just working towards becoming better every day, one project, one challenge at a time. I value growth, originality, and staying open to learning from anyone, anywhere.
