◇ About Me ◇

My personal mission is to give to society through technology. I am always eager to learn and often become obsessed with accomplishing tasks — the more difficult the better. Within my various endeavors, I spend my time working on projects alone and closely collaborating. I am constantly looking for ways to improve myself and help those around me.

I love exercising my creativity by playing guitar or painting, especially with friends. I also enjoy going outside to play soccer or for a long hike. My most recent achievement is climbing Mont Blanc.
