About Me

Full-Stack Developer | C# & .NET Enthusiast

I'm a Full-Stack Developer specializing in C# and .NET, with a focus on building practical, scalable web applications. I enjoy working across the stack — designing clean APIs with ASP.NET Core, optimizing database access with Entity Framework, and creating responsive frontends with React.

Outside of development, I like exploring new .NET features, refining deployment pipelines, and contributing to open-source projects to stay connected with the developer community.
