Hobbies

  • Vinyls

    Beyond the coding adventures, you'll find me immersed in the world of vinyl, where the crackling sounds of a record player provide the perfect background melody to life's moments. It's my way of adding a vintage touch to a modern existence, creating a soundtrack for both contemplation and code compilation.

  • Guitar

    Away from the keyboard, you might catch me strumming a guitar, still finding my way through the chords and melodies. It's a relaxed escape from the binary world, where I'm just a beginner, navigating the strings and enjoying the simple joy of making music.

  • Formula 1

    And as if that weren't enough, I also have a soft spot for Formula 1. I find joy in the fast-paced world of racing, eagerly following the twists and turns of the F1 circuit where every millisecond counts. It's a thrilling parallel to the precision we often seek in life, adding an extra dash of excitement to my weekends.

  • Ping-Pong

    My passion for ping pong isn't a recent development; it traces back to my childhood when my dad and I would play everyday, memories that fuel my love for the game today. Whether at work or transforming any available space into a makeshift table tennis arena, ping pong has become an integral part of my life, weaving competition and nostalgia into the fabric of my daily adventures.
