Interests

Apart from being a mobile developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy mountain hiking every season of the year with my spouse

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows. Also, I am geeky about european football, and I spend a large amount of my free time reading analytical articles about tactical trends. Naturally, I try not to miss advancements in the mobile development world.

Also I love writing about IT stuff in my telegram channel
