Personal Projects
Currently, I’m focused on expanding both my software development skills and my portfolio projects. My main project is a GIS-based web application built with Django, GeoDjango, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and Leaflet. The app is designed to help users discover nearby mountains, calculate hiking routes, and explore terrain data through an interactive map interface. Alongside project development, I’m actively studying data structures and algorithms and solving LeetCode problems to strengthen my problem-solving and technical interview skills. I’m also continuing to improve my German, progressing through daily practice while living and working in Germany. My current focus is building practical, real-world applications while continuously improving my programming fundamentals and software engineering knowledge.
