Developing my website


When I am not working, you will find me reading about new technologies, the current affairs or a Lonely Planet, exploring new places (hiking and travelling), playing Fifa or Spiderman, watching shows such as The Grand Tour, The Block NZ, Grand Designs or more often than not working on a personal project. Being a creative-minded person, I enjoy thinking about new ways to improve things, to build solutions for issues. I believe that to predict the future; you have to create the future or very much be part of the forefront of changing technology and being innovative.
