Interests
Apart from being an economist and data analyst, I really enjoy learning new things different to my academic background. I've been learning about cryptocurrencies, fintech, new technologies, medicine, telecomm, and a large etc.
I spend large amounts of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements. It's a good time to be alive!
Oh, yeah, and I also like taking pictures.
