Interests

Although most of my time is spent coding, I genuinely love to continue to spend my free time exploring new technology and creating software with friends.

My latest interests include theory on maintainable software architecture, design, and clean code.

Aside from coding, I enjoy fashion, investing, and eating food (doesnt everyone?).
