I have a deep passion for reading, especially materials related to engineering, innovation, and personal development, which helps me stay informed and continually improve my technical skills. I also enjoy exploring new places, systems, and ideas; whether it's understanding how a new machine works or venturing into unfamiliar environments to learn and adapt. Additionally, I love playing and watching football, a sport that has strengthened my teamwork, discipline, and ability to perform under pressure; qualities I carry into my professional life.
