about

I'm a second-year software development student at Sakky Kuopio, focused on building modern web applications.

I work mainly with JavaScript and React, and I have hands-on experience with multiple different technologies that I have learned and worked with. I also learn very fast and I'm always trying to expand my skillset.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy spending time with friends, going to the gym, and focusing on the things that really matter. Read more
