Interests

My interest in programming started more than 21 years ago. My first coding attempts were in Pascal, C/C++ and Java. I tried to learn some Gamedev in Irrlicht 3D engine. Also, I used to enjoy coding in Unity and working on 3D models in Blender.

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy being outdoors. On summer, I enjoy biking, walks and road trips.

When indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, and I spend a some amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the web development world. Also, I can play the guitar and some banjo.
