Interests

Apart from being a healthcare application developer and researcher, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy cycling, trekking, rowing, yoga, and Swing dancing. Yes, I'm a LindyHop dancer!

When forced indoors and travelling by public transport, I read scientific and motivational books, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies. I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time practicing meditation and mindfulness.
