Summary
I am an optimistic, open-minded creator with a passion for building—whether in technology, art, or hands-on projects. Self-taught and solutions-oriented, I thrive on turning ideas into reality across digital and physical domains. Outside of tech, I enjoy woodworking, painting, music, and the ongoing renovation of my old farmhouse. I also have a love for travel and adventure, often working remotely from my restored Volkswagen van.
