I’m a software engineer by profession, driven by a passion for solving problems and building solutions that truly make a difference. But beyond the code, I’m a family guy who values the little moments and connections in life. I have a love for art, which helps me see beauty in the world around me. Football, food, and travel are my weekend joys whether I’m kicking a ball around, tasting something new, or just soaking in a new destination. Life’s all about finding balance, and I try to enjoy it in all its colors. 😁
