Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I love being outdoors and experience nature. Any chance I have I love to go camping.

When forced indoors, I can relax and play some games, watch the latest movies/shows or trade and research more about cryptocurrency and the blockchain.

I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
