Interests

Some of my interests and hobbies include cars, volleyball, and gaming. My fascination with cars started early, thanks to my dad. Growing up, I would watch him work on different vehicles in his shop, and over time, I developed an appreciation for them. While I only know the basics of car mechanics, what really captivates me is their design and the creativity behind custom builds. I admire the effort and artistry that go into making each car unique.

Another passion of mine is volleyball—specifically beach volleyball. A few friends introduced me to it, and I’ve been hooked ever since. There’s something about the combination of the sand, the sun, and the game that keeps me coming back. I look forward to heading to the courts every week and spending hours playing and improving my skills.

Gaming has also been a long-time hobby of mine, which makes sense given my love for technology. I enjoy exploring different genres, including MOBAs, MMOs, survival games, FPS, and racing. Gaming allows me to connect with others, challenge myself, and immerse myself in diverse virtual worlds.

Goals

Some of my goals include securing an internship or full-time position as a software developer, software engineer, or in a related role. I’m committed to continually expanding my knowledge by learning and experimenting with new programming languages, frameworks, and tools. Additionally, I aim to complete and regularly enhance this portfolio to effectively showcase my projects, skills, and anything else I’m excited to share.
