Hobbies

gym

Gym

I've been working out since I was nearly 16, and throughout this journey, I've gained valuable knowledge while growing both physically and mentally. I’ve come to see bodybuilding as an art form, sculpting my body with dedication and precision. My passion led me to compete in Men's Physique, where I proudly secured 2nd place. Even though I’ve since transitioned to a career in IT, I still enjoy training, though not with the same dedication as before.

Art

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and over time, I've improved significantly. Eventually, I ventured into painting and was pleasantly surprised by how naturally it came to me. For me, art has always been a form of therapy.

music

Music

Music is deeply rooted in my family. My mum is a singer, and I grew up in a household where the radio was always on. Sundays were dedicated to the best hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, with a special focus on the 80s. From a young age, I had a strong desire to play an instrument, and the guitar quickly became my favorite. In 2010, I was introduced to FL Studio, which taught me a great deal about music production. Occasionally, I return to it to create music for its therapeutic benefits.

coding

Coding

I love coding, especially front-end web development, because it lets me express my creativity in a highly visual way. I enjoy the challenge of transforming ideas into interactive, aesthetically pleasing websites that users can engage with. The combination of design and functionality excites me, as I get to experiment with layouts, colors, and animations, all while ensuring a smooth user experience. Front-end development allows me to bring concepts to life, making the creative process both dynamic and rewarding.

studying

Studying

I love studying and earning new certifications in IT because it allows me to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field, constantly learning new technologies and skills. The challenge of mastering complex concepts and solving problems keeps me engaged, while certifications provide a tangible sense of accomplishment and credibility. It also opens doors to new career opportunities, enabling me to grow professionally and remain competitive in the industry. Overall, it fuels my passion for continuous learning and personal growth in an exciting and dynamic space.

Photography

Photography

I love photography because it connects me to my past while allowing me to creatively capture the present. My passion began when I admired my father’s interchangeable lens film camera in the early 2000s, fascinated by how it turned fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes. In 2015, I took my first steps with my own camera, a Sony a58 and fast forwarding to today with my Sony a6400 paired with a Tamron 17-70mm lens, I revel in the blend of precision and artistry, cherishing the ability to document life's beauty with every click.
