Interests

While my profressional and career in interests lies in technology and furthing my development as a Software Engineer, I enjoy exploring various activities in my free time. During the winter season, I am an avid snowboarder learning to improve my skills every year. In the warmer seasons, I like to spend my time surrounded by nature through walk and hikes. I also love spending time in the water whether it be swimming in the ocean, kayaking and sometimes white water rafting.

My time indoors is spent following various sci-fi and fantasy genre moves, television shows and books with the the occasional documentary or reality show viewing. A large amount of my time is spent exploring new hobbies to challenge myself with. Recently, I have taken on practicing yoga and learning secret family recipes of vietnamese cuisine.
