About Me
If the people who know me were to describe me in one word, it would likely be "social." I excel in collaborative environments, building strong relationships with colleagues and contributing to team success. I thrive on engaging discussions, whether diving into technical topics like the pros and cons of Java or analyzing trends in global events, showcasing my ability to think critically and adapt to diverse perspectives.
Another defining quality is my passion for learning and growth. I am currently pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in Mathematics to deepen my analytical skills and enhance my problem-solving abilities. Mathematics allows me to approach complex challenges methodically, making me adept at breaking down problems and finding efficient solutions—skills that directly translate to success in the workplace.
By combining a love for collaboration, a curious mind, and a strong analytical foundation, I bring a unique perspective and valuable contributions to any team or project.

Hobbies
I am passionate about exploring new experiences and cultivating a diverse range of interests. I enjoy dancing, which not only keeps me active but also connects me to different cultural traditions and forms of self-expression. My fascination with technology extends to flying drones and working on my homelab, where I gain hands-on experience with networking, Docker containers, and Linux systems. This hobby allows me to experiment with real-world scenarios, troubleshoot complex issues, and continuously expand my technical expertise.
Gaming is another hobby I value, as it combines strategy, creativity, and moments of relaxation. I also have a deep interest in music production, where I channel my creativity into crafting unique sounds and learning about audio technology. Traveling and learning about other cultures hold a special place in my life, offering opportunities to broaden my perspective, understand different ways of life, and gain inspiration from the world around me. Each of these hobbies not only enriches my personal life but also strengthens the creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills I bring to my professional work.
