## Building Things

Technology has always been more than a career for me. It's a way of thinking. I'm driven by the need to understand how things work, to take them apart, and to build something new. The process of creating is what pulls me in.

Learning is a constant. Every new tool, language, or idea is an invitation to explore. I chase whatever pushes the boundaries of what's possible, not because it's trendy, but because building with new approaches opens doors I didn't know existed.

What matters most is the outcome: tools that solve real problems, products that make someone's life easier, things that actually work.

## Photography

Photography is where I find visual poetry. Behind the camera, I look for moments that tell stories without words. The way light falls on a landscape, the raw emotion in a portrait, the brief beauty that most people walk past.

Whether working with a DSLR or capturing spontaneous moments on mobile, it's about seeing what others miss. Every frame is a question: what story does this light reveal? What emotion does this shadow hide? Photography taught me that art isn't just about what you capture, but how you see the world.

## Reading

Books have been my escape since childhood. They were the safe space where I could explore distant worlds, complex ideas, and perspectives far beyond my own. That deep passion for stories and knowledge led me to spend two years working in bookstores, surrounded by the very thing that shaped who I am.

Reading isn't just a hobby. It's a way of understanding life. Every book is a teacher, every story a lesson, every page an opportunity to see the world through different eyes. That connection to books never fades.

## Cinephilia

Cinephilia is the deep fascination with cinema that goes beyond entertainment. It's about film theory, criticism, and the craft of storytelling through moving images. That perfectly describes my relationship with film.

I'm drawn to the entire universe of cinema: the drama that pulls you in, the excitement of a perfect scene, the theories that challenge how you see stories, the conversations that spark after the credits roll. Even spoilers can't ruin a great film when you appreciate the artistry behind it.

Cinema is a world I immerse myself in completely, and it shapes how I experience stories in every form.
