Interests

Apart from being a computer scientist, I enjoy most of my time being with friends and family. I love to explore different locations, mainly the city of Chicago during the different seasons. I'm also an avid coffee enthusiast. I love going to different coffee shops to relax, study, or catch up with an old friend.

I love watching movies and television, I enjoy reading books, and I like to play console videogames. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, Comic-Book Super Heroes, and Game of Thrones. I am currently learning how to play the hand-drum because I love making fun beats to listen to. I also love to stay up-to-date with the latest tech advancements in general, but also within the computer science community.
