Beyond the Code
#

Want to get to know me outside of work? Here’s a glimpse at what I’m passionate about when I’m not building software.

🎮 Gaming
#

I’m a longtime gamer with some of my favourite series including titles such as Mass Effect, The Witcher III, and Pokémon. That said, no game has consumed more of my time (or brought me more joy and chaos) than Overwatch. I proudly main Reinhardt—and yes, I’ll shout “FOR GLORY!” before solo-shattering an enemy Mercy without hesitation.

🏋️‍♂️ Fitness
#

Fitness is a big part of my routine, especially as I settle into my 30s. I follow a strength-focused training plan, lifting several times a week to stay energized, focused, and healthy. It’s one of my favorite ways to disconnect and recharge.

📚 Reading
#

I’m a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy, particularly stories that combine big ideas with great character arcs. Red Rising and The Stormlight Archive are my all-time favorites, and I’m always on the lookout for the next great series to dive into.

🧠 Lifelong Learning
#

Whether it’s grinding through technical docs for a certification, experimenting with random hobbies like wood whittling, or learning to play the ocarina, I’m constantly chasing new knowledge. I love exploring new skills just for the fun of it.


🧀 A (Very) Fun Fact
#

I don’t like cheese. At all. Not on pizza, not in pasta, not even melted on a burger. I’ve heard “you just haven’t found the right cheese” more times than I can count—but trust me, it’s not for lack of trying. I’m the anomaly in a dairy-loving world, and I’m okay with that.


If you want to chat about tech, fantasy books, training programs, or the best non-cheesy meals, feel free to reach out.
