About Me
A glimpse into my journey and passions.

I'm Sam, a passionate Fullstack Developer focused on building scalable web platforms, innovative developer tools, and seamless user experiences.
Over the past 4 years, I've honed my skills in solving challenging problems, writing clean and efficient code, and delivering impactful solutions.
What started as a curiosity for technology has grown into a fulfilling career. I specialize in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js, and I'm always eager to explore new tools and frameworks to expand my capabilities. Outside of coding, I enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring aspiring developers, and contributing to open-source projects.
In my free time, I love exploring nature, collaborating with others, and finding creative inspiration in everyday life.
