About

With a rich and varied background in web development, sales, and beauty, I possess a distinctive skill set that merges creativity with technical prowess. Currently, I serve as a Full-Stack Web Developer and Web Designer at Hyperlink Web Design and Development Studio, where I craft engaging websites that not only elevate brand visibility but also drive client revenue growth. My entry into the tech industry was sparked during a career break in 2020, during which I pursued education in web development. I completed comprehensive courses at Skillcrush and earned a certificate in Front-End Development, laying a strong foundation for my current role. Prior to this, I excelled as a Sales Executive at Brand Momentum and PÜR, consistently surpassing
