About Me

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at Heriot-Watt University with a passion for building software that solves real problems. I've developed projects ranging from web apps to REST APIs, and I enjoy learning new tools by applying them in practice. Right now, I'm focused on expanding my portfolio and preparing for a graduate role in software development after graduation.
