Passionate about continuous learning and exploring ideas that balance design, functionality, and efficiency.
My interest started in high school with Blogger templates, experimenting with HTML and CSS. That curiosity evolved into a passion for programming and UI UX design.

Outside Work
A Cinepile, Gamer, and Photographer 🎬🎮📷
When I'm not working, I enjoy playing games and watching movies. I also love capturing unique perspectives while exploring new places with my phone's camera. These activities recharge me, keeping me focused and productive when I get back to work.
Casual Gamer
My favorite games are AAA RPGs, best enjoyed with a controller while relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Currently, I'm playing Elden Ring on Steam.
Cinepile
I enjoy watching movies of various genres. I love Christopher Nolan's films like Inception, Interstellar, and more. I also enjoy movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio, such as Shutter Island, etc.
A Photographer?
My new hobby for the past few years. It all started when I was taking photos for a project and thought, “Why not try being a photographer as well?”. Oh, and I also enjoy in-game photography!
Sometimes an Artist
Drawing has been my longtime hobby. Sometimes, I sketch design concepts, logos, wireframes, etc on paper using a pen, as it helps me visualize ideas in their raw form before polishing them digitally.
