About
I am a pharmacy intern that leverages web development and AI to forge innovative, user-centric solutions that are set to transform the pharmacy landscape.
At the crossroads of healthcare & technology
Drawing from extensive hands-on experience as a pharmacy intern, I have learned the ins and outs of clinical practice, medication management, and patient care. I believe first and foremost in providing quality support for patients through meticulous attention to detail, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous learning in the ever-evolving medical field.
Building on my foundation in healthcare, I’ve carved out a niche in web development, blending technology with clinical insights. I am proficient in using cutting-edge frameworks and languages, such as Next.js for full-stack responsive app development, MongoDB for database integration, and Langchain for natural language processing using LLMs (Large Language Models). By integrating these technologies, I aim to develop intuitive and impactful solutions, directly addressing real-world healthcare challenges with innovative digital tools.
