Who I Am

I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Stuttgart with a passion for building clean, scalable systems. My work spans the full stack - from crafting REST APIs with Spring Boot to building reactive frontends with Vue.js and React.

I believe great software is defined by its foundations: thoughtful architecture, thorough testing, and maintainable code. I enjoy diving deep into complex problems and finding elegant solutions.

Outside of code, you'll find me at the gym, hanging out with friends, or gaming.
