About

My passion lies in conducting rigorous and salient research in developing tangible software applications to address true user needs and issues. I thoroughly enjoy tackling complex problems through an interdisciplinary manner whilst evaluating the efficacy in a scientific approach.

During my free time, I enjoy power/weight-lifting and  Brazilian jiu jitsu.
