Interests

Ever since I could remember, I've always had a passion for cars and technology. I enjoy fiddling around with the different ECUs in my car through "coding" and unlocking certain features. I also enjoy learning about DevOps primarily because the methodology is so effective in the workplace if used properly. I first learned about it while reading the book "The DevOps Handbook" by Gene Kim. It completely changed how I tackle problems and improve in the workplace.
