Personal Overview
The Art of Living Curiously
Beyond job titles and technical frameworks, I'm the kind of person who notices the little wonders: sunlight quilting the pavement, the perfect rhythm of a solved problem, or a chance conversation that changes the day. My curiosity travels beyond screens — it reaches into people, places, and the curious threads that connect cultures and ideas.
I value honesty, steady growth, and conversations that matter. I believe passions outside the office — whether messy, quiet, or wildly social — sharpen how I think and create. So when I'm not debugging, I'm learning from hikes, sketches, or the unexpected insights of a late-night chat.
My life beyond work is a patchwork of practical play and creative ritual: organizing team events that spark laughter and connection, sketching and painting to slow time, keeping fit with yoga and workouts, and chasing sunlight with a camera on nature walks. I love the quick focus of a table-tennis rally, the friendly chaos of foosball, and the quiet aim of darts — all tiny laboratories of attention.
I'm also a wanderer and a listener — traveling to learn new rhythms, playing frequency instruments to feel sound as texture, and reading books that nudge my thinking. Each hobby teaches me something useful: patience, pattern-recognition, or a new way to see the world. That curiosity is the constant — energetic, open, and easily delighted.
