I specialize in PHP, MySQL, and server-side scripting to build secure, data-driven applications. I studied abroad in Seoul, South Korea, where I attended a Computer Science conference with engineers from Samsung Electronics, gaining global insights into software development. I'm passionate about writing clean, efficient code, developing secure systems, and producing clear, maintainable technical documentation. I'm always eager to learn new skills and explore emerging technologies to stay at the forefront of the tech industry.
