Extras

I love everything about learning software. I also tinker with programming and music production on the side.

I’ve studied Spanish for 12+ years. Most of my devices are set to the language so that I can practice reading and writing. One of my life goals is to achieve fluency.

I collect house plants. It’s so fulfilling to take care of them and watch grow. I have over 50 in my one-bedroom apartment.
