I’m a Computing & Technology student driven by curiosity and a passion for building things that connect technology with real-world problems. I enjoy exploring areas beyond just programming, especially AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, networking and science-driven technology.

I’m good at breaking down complex ideas into understandable pieces, learning new technologies quickly, and turning ideas into practical projects. I’m particularly driven by the desire to understand how things work and then use that knowledge to create something useful.

Some projects I’ve worked on include a Solana-based music sheet marketplace prototype, exploring on-chain purchases, PDAs and smart contracts; a gym management and booking system built with Python and file-based databases; and SeniorCare, a wearable technology concept designed to help monitor and support elderly users. I’ve also worked on network architecture projects and digital solutions focused on transparency, accessibility, and real-world usability.

Most of these projects, however, have remained at the concept or prototype, where I often found myself reaching to the point where i came to a halt before turning the idea into a fully working, tangible implementation stage due to limited opportunities and circumstances. That is one of the main reasons I’m joining this hackathon — to break out of that cycle, step forward and actually build something, just to go beyond simply having an idea and turns it into something tangible. I want to experience what it takes to actually build, test, iterate and bring an idea to life.
