About me

I'm a multi-disciplinary software developer with experience across web development, game design, and financial systems. I build modern, responsive web apps using tools like React and Tailwind, and develop interactive games that blend creativity with technical precision. In the finance space, I create algorithmic trading strategies and custom indicators using MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and Pine Script, focusing on performance, automation, and data-driven insights.

Beyond code, I'm a YouTube enthusiast who enjoys producing finanical content, and a growing machine learning developer, exploring how AI and data science can drive smarter solutions.
