Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. During weekend, I play soccer and basketball with my friends.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world and AI like Chatbot.
