  about: |
    - I began my journey in web development in the late 1990s, experimenting with HTML as an 8-year-old using Windows 3.11 and a text editor. By the early 2000s,
      I had expanded my skills to include CSS and PHP, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion for coding.
    - With expertise spanning both frontend and backend development, my current focus and strength lie in JavaScript, particularly on the frontend.
      I have extensive hands-on experience with modern frameworks like React (including Next.js) and Vue (including Nuxt.js), delivering high-quality results tailored to clients' needs.
    - Beyond web development, I have built mobile applications using Cordova, React Native, and native languages like Java and Kotlin. 
      My growing interest in DevOps has led me to explore automation, cloud services (GCP, AWS), and deployment pipelines.
      I am proficient in tools like GitHub Actions and enjoy streamlining workflows to enhance efficiency.
    - In my free time, I enjoy tinkering with Arduino and building IoT devices, combining my programming skills with hardware to create innovative solutions.
      This hands-on experimentation reflects my curiosity and passion for continuous learning.
    - I thrive on tackling challenges and am committed to producing exceptional work.
      Whether you're looking for a skilled developer or someone to bring innovative automation solutions to your project, I’m here to help.
