View on GitHub👋 Hi, I'm Christian — Full-Stack Developer & Relentless Problem-Solver
Illinois-based software engineer with a passion for building practical, well-designed solutions that push me to learn something new every day.
I thrive on TypeScript, React/Next.js, and .NET, but I'm equally at home experimenting with AI, DevOps, and blockchain.
My goal: turn ideas into polished products while continuously expanding my skill set.
