Side Quests & Personal Wins
Beyond work, I’m passionate about exploring new cultures and landscapes through travel. I also find great joy in teaching mathematics to high school students — breaking down complex concepts and nurturing curiosity in young minds. Over the years, I’ve mentored and taught mathematics to more than 20 students from my hometown, many of whom have successfully started their careers in the IT industry. Sharing knowledge and helping others grow has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey.
