Interests

Apart from being a Software developer, I enjoy most of my time solving puzzles, Sudoku, playing the guitar, mentoring and walking.

When I am not homeschooling my 10 year old daughter or helping my wife with her baking business. I spend most of my time exploring the latest technology advancements in software development or learning a new online course. I also follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies, games, anime and television shows.
