A little bit about moi
On the professional side —
If I we're to describe myself, I'd say I'm first, someone who's always trying to improve — be it my own skills or the user experience.
Second, I'm a critic. I critique my work, the current experience, the future vision, other's work, the business goals… everything. Don't be alarmed, it's all constructive though. I'm a curious person to my core and love to learn how all things work together in order to improve them to their maximum potential.
Finally third, I love a challenge. Life is full of problems, and at no point will they ever go away. At most, you'll get new better problems you love to work on solving. That principle fuels my personal and professional life — embracing the 'suck' and overcoming current challenges one step at a time.
On the personal side —
I love a lot of things, but few of them compare to my love for health, exercise, science & innovation.
Day to day you'll find me listening to podcasts about the newest science related to health, jotting down notes, and finding out ways to apply it to my life. We live in an age of exponential innovation that is constantly changing how we interact with everything and everyone around us. I feel that it is a duty to myself, my health, and my future to learn about all the progress made in science to live up to my potential.
Outside of my scientific obsession however, you can find me learning new foods/ways to cook, running, cycling and lifting weights to train, and reading up on my new favorite fantasy fiction.
