Hey, I'm Anis!

A developer who builds fun, impactful, and human-centered software.

I believe technology should solve real problems and spark joy. I started with Python in 2019, and my journey has been a curiosity-fueled exploration through web dev, bots, game engines, and beyond. I recently graduated with a Computer Science degree, but my most important lessons came from hands-on building, breaking things, and side projects.

I'm currently sharpening my skills in full-stack development and cloud architecture. My motto?
