I pride myself on valuing new challenges as learning opportunites. I self taught programming from a young age, which made me appreciate the value of reaching beyond current limits. This attitude continues in my professional career.

If you can convince that your project is meaningful + would improve quality of life for many people, I'd love to contribute. I am deeply motivated when my work and values align.

I have many passions, both within the tech world and outside it. This contributes to my drive to always learn and grow. My hobbies are varied - including reading, scuba diving, hiking, golfing, running, bouldering, and programming side projects.

In professional settings, I like to speak my mind - always with respect and humility. Direct communication makes it easy to get everyone on the same page and moving forward together.

I always seek out and highly value meaningful feedback, whether it's positive or negative. In 1-on-1 meetings, I have a standing agenda of "How can I improve?" Advice from skilled coworkers is one of the fastest ways to grow.
