A Little More About Me

Outside of software engineering, I enjoy both home-based and physical activities. At home, I like chess, cooking, and computer games, which help me relax and stay mentally sharp. I also enjoy disc golf and powerlifting, which keep me active and competitive.

Here’s a photo of me playing disc golf 😄
