👋 I’m a Full-Stack Developer & Product Designer driving the vision and delivery of our NFT marketplace at a crypto-focused startup. With 4+ years in frontend development and a growing backend skillset, I blend aesthetics, functionality, and AI-powered workflows to build delightful, data-driven experiences.

As a hands-on designer, I craft user-centered journeys in Figma, prototype interactions, and maintain a living design system. As a developer, I code responsive interfaces, implement serverless APIs, and integrate smart contracts. Everywhere in between, I harness prompt engineering and AI tools to accelerate ideation, generate production-ready components, and automate quality checks—so that each release is faster and more reliable.
