## About

a final\-year Computer Science student who loves building useful things with code\. Recently, I worked as a Software Developer Intern at Layer5, where I contributed to Meshery, an open\-source service mesh management tool\. I focused on improving the UI\. On the side, I’m building Quizzy — a fun, customizable quiz platform designed to help businesses generate leads and engage users\. It’s something I started to explore product\-building and real\-world problems\. I enjoy working with React, Next\.js, Node\.js, and tools that make building products smoother\. I'm also into open source and learning how great products are made\. If you're working on something interesting or just want to connect, feel free to reach out\!
