Hi, my name is

Mabel Samuel.

Fondly called Mapleberry.

I'm a software engineer currently based in Rivers, Nigeria.

Fun fact, I'd rather read the documentation than watch a youtube video.

About Me

I started my coding journey in 2023 learning python before transitioning to full stack web development. I'm a passionate full-stack developer with 2 years of experience creating beautiful and functional web applications. I love turning complex problems into simple, beautiful designs.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or enjoying a good cup of coffee while sketching new ideas.
