Interests

I am fairly busy between online classes, work, personal projects, and taking care of my grandfather. If I want to get out of the house I like to go to the gym, and play soccer. I love most sports including swimming, skiing, and recreational sports with my friends.

What sets me apart from others is my ability to teach myself complicated concepts. This has made me self-directed and disciplined. I do well in teams and often take on a leadership role due to my ability to pick things up quickly.

Growing up in a multicultural family makes my background and culture interesting and contributed to my success today. My current focus is to soak up as much knowledge as I can to further my career goal of being a Software Engineer.
