More About Me

Beyond the code

When I'm not locking in, I'd probably be watching TV/movies, playing a racquet sport, exploring new tech trends, or something else. I try to be organized & productive with the time I have, and I enjoy trying new things. More recently I've picked up a liking for travel and rollerblading.
