Hobbies

When I'm not coding, these are the activities that fuel my creativity and keep me balanced.

Trading

I actively trade forex and indices, leveraging technical and fundamental analysis to predict market movements. It started as a path to financial freedom, and became a lifelong skill. I highly value financial literacy.

TikTok

I produce short-form videos centered on cultural commentary, humor, and storytelling. I grew from fewer than 100 to over 1000 followers in just 30 days by creating relatable, engaging content.

Interests

These are the areas that capture my curiosity and drive my continuous learning.

Robotics

I'm fascinated by the intersection of artificial intelligence and physical systems. The idea of creating machines that can perceive, learn, and interact with the world autonomously excites me. I'm particularly drawn to how robotics combines software engineering with mechanical design, and how these systems can solve real-world problems from manufacturing to healthcare. This interest connects directly to my work in AI and drives my curiosity about the future of intelligent automation. I'm inspired by Tony Stark's Iron Man technologies - from JARVIS and FRIDAY's advanced AI systems to the sophisticated Iron Man suits with their repulsor technology, flight systems, and integrated AI assistance. The way he combines artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-machine interface design represents the pinnacle of what technology can achieve when creativity meets engineering excellence.

Motors

I have a deep appreciation for automotive engineering and the evolution of transportation technology. From understanding how internal combustion engines work to following the rise of electric vehicles, I'm captivated by the engineering solutions that make modern transportation possible. I regularly watch Matt Watson's Carwow videos, which cover everything from drag races and rolling races to brake tests and comprehensive reviews. I'm fascinated by the full spectrum of automotive categories - from practical sedans and hatchbacks to luxury cars, sports cars, and hypercars. The technical details of different engine configurations like V8s and V12s, combined with the performance testing and real-world reviews, give me insights into how different engineering approaches solve the same fundamental challenges of transportation. This interest reflects my appreciation for well-engineered systems and innovative problem-solving across all vehicle types.

Nature

Spending time outdoors is essential for my mental clarity and creative process. I love going to the outskirts for fresh air, watching sunsets, and taking pictures of nature. Whether it's hiking, observing wildlife, or simply being in natural environments, nature provides the perfect contrast to my digital work. I find that the tranquility of natural settings helps me think more clearly about complex problems and often sparks new ideas for my projects. It's a reminder that the best solutions often come from understanding both technology and the natural world.

Career Objectives

My professional goals are centered around continuous growth and meaningful impact through technology.

• Short-term: Complete my ICT Support Services diploma and expand Writon's capabilities with new AI features
• Medium-term: Lead larger technical projects and mentor other developers in AI integration
• Long-term: Build innovative solutions that solve real-world problems and advance human-computer interaction
• Vision: Create technology that bridges the gap between human creativity and artificial intelligence
