Interests

When I'm not being a Software Engineer, I enjoy other technological hobbies such as hardware assembly and keeping up to date with the latest tech developments. I'm also involved in League of Legends tournaments, where teamwork and coordination are the keys to victory.

As for outdoors, I'm a fan of cycling as well as travelling to new places when I get the chance.
