Interests
This page is a snapshot of who I am outside of work and computer science - the sports I play, the places I have travelled, the things I am learning, and the hobbies I have that bring me so much joy in life.
Sports
Tennis
I have played tennis since I was 5 years old. I have always loved playing tennis. I competed regularly as a junior and have played first team for David Lloyd Northwood, Eastcote Lawn Tennis Club, and Lowlands Lawn Tennis Club. Over the past few years, I have battled through wrist and back injuries. I am still incredibly driven and motivated to keep improving in tennis, I just love it so much. I use a Head Extreme Pro with Head Lynx Tour at 54 / 52 lbs. I also have a stringing machine and string rackets for clients as a mini business.
Table Tennis
I love playing table tennis with my colleagues during lunch at work. It's a great way to take a break, reset my mind, and come back focused. Table tennis is very fast paced and requires super fast reaction times, which is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much. I quite enjoy watching table tennis as well, my favourite player is Truls Moregard.

Badminton
I really enjoy playing badminton because it offers a unique dynamic compared to both tennis and table tennis. The game is incredibly high-intensity with explosive bursts, extreme speed, and technical skill involved. Playing doubles with my friends is so much fun and provides an excellent workout.

Travel and Photography
Hong Kong
I've been to Hong Kong once and it was my first ever trip to Asia. It was the greatest trip of my life.
Macau
During my first trip to Hong Kong I also went to Macau, exploring both the Macau Peninsula and Cotai.
Spain
I've been to Spain once; I went to Barcelona and Blanes. I was completely mesmerised by La Sagrada Familia.
Lithuania
Lithuania is very tranquil. I enjoy spending time in nature, especially in its forests and by its lakes.
Egypt
I stayed in Sharm El Sheikh on my trip to Egypt, where I relaxed on the beach and tried activities like diving on coral reefs and quad‑biking in the desert.
Upcoming
China
I will be visiting China and I'm excited to explore its rich culture, natural beauty, and delicious food.

Food
I love food so much. I enjoy trying new dishes in different countries and cultures - I get so much enjoyment from eating. I have so many images of food I've tried that I can't choose just a few to put here. I also love cooking and baking.

Rubik's Cubes
I enjoy solving Rubik's Cubes of different shapes and sizes, including the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, Pyraminx, and Megaminx. It is a fun mix of pattern recognition, memory, and problem-solving.

Personal Finances
I'm interested in staying on top of my finances. I've created an Excel spreadsheet that tracks my monthly expenses, income, and savings. It helps me visualise spending patterns and maintain awareness of my financial health. Beyond tracking, I'm interested in investing and algorithmic trading strategies. I love exploring how data science and quantitative methods can unlock better financial decision-making.

Philosophy
My everyday actions are what make me who I am. Results are just the side effects of what I do. You do it right. And do it every day. Doing stuff right just feels good. Repetition. Consistency. Care.
