About me

I am a curious person, I enjoy exploring and learning about any subject. I never turn down a challenging project and am always open to learn and improve. Critical thinker at heart, I am always trying to find unique solutions that can be applied to my daily life and to problems I might encounter.

My free time is consumed reading books, watching my favourite youtubers and exercising.
