    ABOUT ME

    A little bit about my myself:

    I believe being genuine and nurturing, along with professional and driven, is an essential combination for people in my field. My abilities extend to problem-solving and critical thinking with proficiency in teamwork. Working with people from diverse backgrounds has provided me with a deep understanding and awareness of differences in both individuals and organizations. I am also very hard-working who can create and support new or improved products from research through development as well as someone with a positive attitude and an adaptable, creative mindset. Also, I do have a passion for clean and beautiful code with an eye for simplicity and pragmatism. I also happen to love Football with a passion and loves to go outdoors for hikes and camping. :)
