Interests

Apart from data analysis and solving problems, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy traveling with my family, visiting the zoo, and calisthenics. Fresh air, clean water, good food, exercise, and family are what keep me going.

When I really enjoy something, I am consumed by it. I truly enjoy data science and problem solving, I spend most of my time learning new things and skillsets which help me to solve problems or help me to accomplish what I set my mind to.
