📚 Currently Learning: I am working on a Movie Recommendation App 🎬, a web application that suggests movies based on user preferences like genres, ratings, and watch history. This app is built using Django for the backend, React for the frontend, and SQLite3 as the database. It integrates with the TMDb API to fetch movie data, providing personalized recommendations.

| HOSP Reliability Project Presentation ~ Reliability dashboard | During the Makers Cloud Engineering Specialism bootcamp, I worked on a final project focused on improving system reliability. Our team improved reliability to 100% by optimizing load balancing with access only to the load balancer. This deepened my understanding of cloud infrastructure in resource-constrained environments. | AWS (EC2, S3, Athena, CloudWatch), Nginx, Postman, SQL |
| Fridge Wizard | Developed a full-stack app to track food expiration and suggest recipes to reduce waste. Utilized MongoDB for flexible and scalable data storage. | JavaScript, React, Python, Django, MongoDB, Pytest, 3rd-party API |
| Cappybook | Built a responsive social media platform with features like posting, liking, and commenting using Go and React. Integrated PostgreSQL for data storage. | JavaScript, React, Go, Gin, PostgreSQL |
