Hobbies & Interests

Beyond coding, I have diverse interests that keep me creative, curious, and balanced. These activities often inspire new approaches to problem-solving in my professional work.

Learning History

History is everything that ever happened. It's the ultimate source of truth and what's possible. If you don't learn from history - you are bound to repeat it.

  • Every time I watch a video on the same event, I learn new perspectives
