Interests
Beyond the code
Web Development
Building for the web is something I genuinely enjoy, not just at work. I tinker with side projects, try out new tools, and to see how I can use certain new technologies.
Gaming
Been playing video games for as long as I can remember. All kinds of genres, no particular loyalty. It's how I wind down.
Music
Music is always on in the background. My taste jumps around a lot and I'm not sure that's ever going to change.
Exploring Technologies
I pick up new languages and tools now and then just to see how they work. Not everything sticks, but it's usually worth the detour.
Contemplating the 'What-ifs'
Enjoy pondering hypothetical scenarios and exploring alternative outcomes. A fun way to think outside the box and wonder what could have been.
Miniature Modeling & Painting
I enjoy creating and painting miniature models. It's a meticulous hobby that allows me to express creativity and attention to detail.
3D Printing
As a somewhat new hobby, I enjoy 3D printing various objects. It's a fascinating way to bring small nerdy ideas to life.
