Theoretical Skills

I have extensive experience with genetic studies and stem cell research, along with a strong foundation in cellular biology, including cell genesis, chromosome structure, and developmental biology. My knowledge extends to human biology, where I understand how organs work together across different systems and layers. I also have a basic understanding of cancerology and immunology, which gives me insight into disease mechanisms and immune responses. I have a basic understanding of statistical analysis—I know enough to do simple statistical analyses and interpret the results effectively.
I’ve always been fascinated by evolutionary biology, especially natural selection and genetic drift. I’ve spent a lot of time studying these topics, and they’re something I really enjoy diving into.

I am proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which allows me to create websites easily. JavaScript is definitely my favorite, I love how dynamic and interactive it can make a site.
I have a basic knowledge of Firebase, so I can set up small databases when needed.

I’m currently learning Python, and below you’ll find some of the projects I’ve been working on.

I got started with coding by following online courses in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Now, I’m diving deeper into projects on my own. I’ll admit, I’m not the best at creating visually stunning pages with CSS, but I try my best and often learn by experimenting and borrowing ideas from other website.

What I love most about programming is that there’s always more than one way to solve a problem. Whether you want to dive into complex code or find a clever workaround, it’s all about choosing the right approach. Plus, no matter what bug you run into, there’s always a solution out there—you just have to find it!
