Curiosity is something that keeps me moving. Perhaps this is why I don't get discouraged in the face of failure. I see every challenge as a learning opportunity and believe everything happens for a reason. On this website you'll find a summary of my professional history and projects. When it comes to my work ethic, I prioritize making things as simple, robust and efficient as possible, no matter the task. I believe that prioritizing meaningful connections with colleagues and working as a team, rather than alone, is how people do their best work.

Interests

Apart from being a coder/ interpreter/ hard worker, I enjoy facing up to my limits by doing intense sports such as rock climbing. Having said that, I'm not fond of risk-taking, I love things with certainty and no ambiguity, perhaps this is the reason why my interest moved onto Computer Science from Sociology past few years. Also, I'm an occasional gym-goer because I always say yes to whoever asks me to work out with them.

When forced indoors, I watch all genre of movies and television shows. I can be a chef extraordinare if and only if I succeeded in convincing myself to be one. Finally, and most importantly, I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world. Android apps too lately!
