Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being active. I do enjoy biking around town and going for the occasional run.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
