About

Hello there! I'm a Software Developer, as thirsty for knowledge as a hummingbird is for nectar (a bit of the biologist in me). My coding journey, spanning over a year, has been nothing short of exhilarating and packed with all sorts of emotions. With over 8 years of experience in Biotechnology and a background in Customer Service and hospitality, I've honed my communication and problem-solving skills.
