Apart from being a software developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid traveler and love to wander around in foggy weather.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the software development world.
