My toolkit includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and modern styling libraries like Bootstrap, Tailwind, and SASS. I strive to build intuitive, accessible websites that prioritize both aesthetics and usability.

🌱 Currently Learning

I recently built a Nail Studio project using Django and React, where I implemented CRUD operations and managed data efficiently between the frontend and backend – check it out here!.

Now, I’m diving deeper into Django, exploring its advanced features, and planning to integrate a custom admin panel into my project for better management and scalability.
