🎯 Core Principles
#

💡 Innovation First
Question existing implementations. If something can be better, make it better. Don’t settle for “good enough.”

✨ Obsess Over Details
Optimization isn’t just about performance metrics - it’s about creating seamless experiences that users don’t have to think about.

❤️ Build for Impact
Technology should serve people. Every system I build, every line of code I write, aims to make someone’s work easier or their experience better.

🛡️ Security by Design
OSCP certified. Security isn’t an afterthought - it’s foundational to everything I build.
