Interests

When I'm not working, studying, or simply browsing the web, I'm always checking out the newest web development technology.. Spending time with loved ones, friends, and coworkers in nature is one of my favorite pastimes. When you're confined inside, like during the COVID-19 epidemic, it's a living horror. Thank you for taking the time to look at my website. 😊
