I like building, testing, breaking, and fixing software systems. My main areas of interest are Systems, and Software Engineering. I also like to spend some time on Natural Language Processing and Data Visualization.
My hobbies include watching football, Formula 1, and learning new languages. I also like to cook in my free time and I do enjoy writing and reading poetry from time to time.
