Beyond Work

Outside of work, I'm a sports enthusiast and adventurer. I enjoy cycling, running, golf, and football.

Lately, though, my social media has been quieter as I've been immersed in exciting new tech projects.

The world of technology, especially with tools like Cursor and Claude, has rekindled my excitement for building and creating. While I don't have much to show yet, I plan to share my work on GitHub in the future. I'm also learning to write more, with the intention of sharing insights on LinkedIn and possibly starting to post on Twitter, though I haven't begun this yet.
