Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I like to visit mountains covered with snow & trek if permissable. During the warmer months here in this part of the country, I enjoy hiking up to the nearby hills, cycling, and exploring new water bodies.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am a proactive gamer as well, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the web development world.
