About Me

I’m Sarah Handal, a Full Stack Developer with a background in design and a passion for building meaningful digital experiences.
‍
My journey started in graphic and web design, where I discovered how creativity can transform how people interact with visuals.
‍
Over time, I became curious about the logic and functionality behind the design, which led me to transition into full stack development.
‍
Now, I combine my technical and creative skills to build applications that are both functional and beautiful.
I love solving problems, learning new technologies, and creating projects that make an impact.
‍
Outside of coding, you’ll often find me painting, developing my art business, or exploring design trends.
‍
My goal is to bridge creativity and technology, making the web a more engaging place.
