    My Tech Journey

    My journey into tech begun as a passion in developing Blogger themes when I was 13 years old. Yes, the tinkering and designing with Blogger(remember Blogger?) themes came first before the actual blogging itself. When the time came to pick a college major, I decided to go with software engineering and the rest is history. I've been working in the tech space since but what started as a passion in frontend development sorta turned into one for backend development - when I was given the opportunity to work with the server-side of things and big data tools during my protégé training. These days I am particularly interested in system design, data engineering and AI engineering.

    Photography

    I've always believed in having a balance between work and life. While my work happens to also be one of the things I am passionate about, it is mostly technical and logical in nature. I believe the arts offer a way to be more in tune with the more abstract aspects of life. As a kid, I've leaned more into my artistic tendencies through drawing and poetry but abandoned these when I started my undergraduate. I've since realized the importance of tending to my artistic abilities and have tried taking up painting and photography. While painting is still something I treat as a chore, thankfully photography is here to stick and I aim to get better at it.
