My biggest objectives are to continue learning and ideally do more of the things I love at work. I'm very passionate about science, engineering, mathematics, and philosophy. I research these areas in my free time, since I consider these areas a vital part of my life. I'm fascinated by how things work and love to know technical details behind anything.
