Hobbies

Playing Football & Playing Chess

Regularly play football in both competitive and casual settings. This has helped build strong teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills. On the field, I’ve learned to communicate, think strategically, and perform under pressure, qualities that translate well into professional environments.

Chess has sharpened my analytical thinking, problem-solving, and patience. It trains me to plan, assess situations calmly, and adapt my strategy skills that are essential when debugging code or managing technical challenges.

Reading

Enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction, particularly tech blogs, personal development books, and biographies. This hobby has improved my focus, critical thinking, and desire to continuously learn, which I apply when keeping up with new IT tools and trends.
