Ever since I got my first computer, I've been really curious about how it works. That's why I decided to study computer sciences. My passion led me to focus on the scientific side of computing and work with data scientist teams. Collaborating with them is fulfilling, and it gives me chances to share my skills and learn from others. As I keep exploring the world of computing, I stay committed to doing my best and enjoying understanding all about technology.

This passion for computing and my curiosity also drive me every day to try applying what I know to diverse fields like agriculture, ham radio, or music.
