About Me

Who I Am

I'm a Full-Stack Developer & WordPress Specialist currently based in Fribourg, Switzerland. I have 14 months of professional experience building responsive websites, custom themes, and mobile applications.

My journey started with a passion for building things on the web. I taught myself WordPress development and went on to work professionally at Thence Partners in Lugano, where I built custom themes, integrated React.js, and delivered an Android app with 500+ downloads on Google Play.

I recently published my first plugin — Swiss Business Suite — on the official WordPress.org directory, a production-grade tool for Swiss SMEs with booking, invoicing, and Swiss QR-Bill support.

I'm currently studying Computer Science at the American University of Afghanistan (graduating May 2027) while building my skills in TypeScript, Next.js, and modern frontend development.
