Interests & Additional Information

I'm an avid reader and generally curious, I love consuming self-improvement books and podcasts. Sports and fitness are also fields I nerd about. I play basketball, badminton and table tennis as far as I can remember. I spend most of my free time playing with my kid.

I also enjoy building websites on my free time. I've helped found a company before: Teesr.
