Interests

Apart from being a developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors and spending time with my daughter. Hiking in our local mountains and trails, going to parks and beaches are our go-to weekend activity. I’m passionate about discovering new places, taking photos… and road trips!

You can also catch me exploring local coffee shops and breweries.
