I transitioned from Molecular Synthesis to Computer Science, combining analytical problem-solving with creative software development.
When I’m not coding, I enjoy reading mystery novels, solving puzzles, and designing projects that connect real-world needs—like plant monitoring or personal scheduling—with tech.
