Interests and Hobbies

Astronomy and Astrophysics

I have always had an interest in Astronomy since I was a child. I originally planned to pursue Astrophysics for my degree in University, but I switched to Computer Science due to some doubt I had at the time. While I fell in love with technology and data, I still hold a love for Astronomy and Physics in my heart.

My dream is to apply software engineering and data science to astronomy and astrophysics. Right now my focus is applying my software knowledge and building strong data science foundations: machine learning, statistical modeling, and large-scale data analysis. I'm looking for a role where I can contribute while continuing to grow these skills.

Music and Composition

I grew up learning how to play the guitar. As I got older, I started to try out other instruments. That is when I found my new love for piano and classical/cinematic composition. In my free time, when I feel inspired, I will compose music on my piano and some may even make it to youtube.

Check out my compositions on youtube if you're interested!
