My days at work are spent deep in embedded systems, working with languages like C++ and Python, and it's a great place to tackle complex challenges. But what really drives me is the creative side of building things.

Outside of my professional work, I'm always tinkering with personal projects. I love the feeling of bringing an idea to life, whether it's a hardware project that integrates software, like my live subway map display, or a web application that solves a real-world problem. It's the challenge of figuring out how all the pieces fit together that keeps me hooked.

I find that my professinal work experience and my personal projects complement each other. The problem-solving skills I use at work translate directly to my personal projects, and the creativity I exercise in my personal projects keeps me energized for my work. It's a continuous cycle of learning and building.
