Skills & Interests

Front-End Development

My most recent passion. It keeps the creativity juices flowing. The ever so dynamic world of front-end is one that keeps you on your toes always

Backend Development

My first love. I started coding in Java and C++ and fell in love with programming.

Mentorship

I believe we all need mentors at some point in our lives. Whether it be to inspire, encourage, teach or simply be a positive role model, we always need that beacon of light in our corner

Cooking

I cook and I love doing it. My Sundays are usually spent lovingly (read slaving away) meal prepping for my family. PS I never said I was good at it. I just enjoy

Volunteering

There's nothing like giving back. Service to humanity is my calling and brings the most rewarding feeling ever.
