Hobbies and Interests
When I’m not coding, I enjoy exploring my creative side through music I’ve been playing guitar since I was 15, and it remains one of my favorite ways to unwind and express myself I’m currently revisiting my passion for music, focusing on improving my skills and experimenting with new techniques
I also have a deep appreciation for storytelling and world-building Whether it’s through writing narratives for creative projects or immersing myself in science fiction and fantasy, I love crafting and engaging with rich, detailed universes This passion often inspires my work in development and interactive experiences
In addition, I have a fascination with technology and innovation I enjoy learning about AI, and other cutting-edge tools that push the boundaries of what’s possible Staying curious and continuously learning drives both my professional and personal growth
Finally, as a foster parent, I find immense fulfillment in spending time with my family Navigating the unique challenges and joys of parenting keeps me grounded and motivated to make the most of every opportunity
