About Me

Although I revel in the outdoors, I am very enthusiastic about technology and its seemingly limitless potential. Unfortunately, I get bored really easily from doing repetitive, unfruitful work with little to no challenge. Which is why I tend to always try and find work in a slightly different field than the last, as well as experiment with different technologies on my personal time. Nonetheless, I am not a fan of mediocre work and while I realise that perfection is quite impossible, improvement is not, be it in work, personal growth or even writing short biographies.
