BEYOND THE CODE
When I'm not architecting React components or optimizing APIs, I explore the intersection of art, culture, and technology:
🖌️ Painting My World
- Creating vibrant watercolor landscapes and digital illustrations
- "Coding is art with logic as its canvas" - exploring parallels between UI composition and visual storytelling
- Find my latest artwork on Instagram
✈️ Cultural Engineering Through Travel
My transformative Japan experience reshaped how I view systems and user behavior:
- Observed cultural algorithms:Standing left on elevators, self-organized queues, quiet public transport
- Designed inspiration: Tokyo's digital art museums, TeamLab Planets and Kyoto's shrine aesthetics influencing UI minimalism
- Adopted principles: Applying "unsaid rules" elegance to intuitive UI patterns and component design
Japan taught me that the best systems work so seamlessly, users follow them instinctively
📚 Books That Expand Minds
- All-time favorite: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - masterclass in human resilience and narrative depth
- Author inspiration: Hosseini's ability to weave emotional architecture informs my user journey mapping
Always open to recommendations that blend human stories with technical insights!
