Personal
Outside of work, I'm pretty much always surrounded by tech in some form. I'm deeply into video games—everything from narrative-driven single-player experiences to competitive multiplayer games where I can lose track of time, I'm also a bit of a keyboard enthusiast, which started as a practical hobby but has evolved into something I genuinely enjoy tinkering with. Building and customizing mechanical keyboards scratches a different itch—it's and allows me to have a more hands on hobby.
Travel is a big priority for me too. I've made it a goal to visit a new country at least once a year, and it's one of the best ways I've found to step outside my routine and away from tech. Beyond the sightseeing, what really draws me in is experiencing different food cultures. I love seeking out local restaurants, street food, markets.
