Reading

As an engineer, I’m naturally curious about how things work and how they can be made better. I enjoy reading books and watching videos about new technologies and ideas, whether it’s breakthroughs in AI, sustainable energy, or innovative design. There’s something exciting about discovering concepts that can shape the future.

What really drives me, though, is figuring out how to take those ideas and put them into action. It’s one thing to learn about a new tool or method, but the real fun is in applying it to solve problems or improve systems. I remember reading about automation and realizing how it could make one of our workflows faster. Taking that idea and turning it into a solution was incredibly rewarding.

For me, learning isn’t just a pastime. It’s a way to keep growing and staying inspired. Each book or video sparks ideas, and I’m always looking for ways to turn them into something practical and meaningful.
