About Me

Hobbies & Interests
I have a passion for continuous learning and problem-solving, particularly through programming challenges and exploring new technologies. This drives my curiosity and motivates me to improve my skills.
I play cricket competitively for two teams, participating in at least two matches each week. I primarily bowl while developing my batting skills, and I also take on the role of scorer when needed — an activity that strengthens my focus and attention to detail.
Outside of programming and sport, I enjoy watching films and TV shows, frequently visiting the cinema either alone or with friends. I value spending quality time with friends, engaging in activities such as playing video and board games, minigolf, bowling, dining out, and attending live comedy events.
