Interests

When I don't have my head buried in a new project, you'll usually find me hanging out with friends, making/playing video games, reading or just tinkering with a new gadget or gizmo.

I'm always ready to strike up a conversation, whether it be about nerd culture, tech or even the ideal pitch of a mechanical keyboard.
