Football, Scrabble, Chess

Football: One of my favorite methods to stay active and relax is to play football recreationally, which I have done for years. I've learned the value of strategy, discipline, and teamwork from football. I enjoy the tactical elements of the game and the camaraderie it creates, whether I'm on the field or just watching.

Scrabble: I adore words, and when I have free time, I like to play Scrabble. It's a fantastic method for me to intellectually challenge myself and expand my vocabulary. I use the rapid thinking and multi-approach problem-solving skills I develop from playing Scrabble in my professional life.


Chess: Another one of my passions, chess has helped me become more patient and strategic in my thinking. Planning, forethought, and flexibility are skills that are greatly helpful in problem-solving and decision-making, and they are taught by the game's depth. Chess helps me focus better and manage complicated circumstances better, in my opinion.

Interests

My diverse hobbies keep me active in both my personal and professional life: Technology & Innovation: Keeping abreast of cutting-edge technology excites me, particularly in fields like automation, machine learning, and software development. My main interest is learning how technology can be used to solve real-world issues, which is why I like to take part in tech meetups and hackathons. Problem-Solving & Process Optimization: I'm constantly looking for ways to make processes and systems better, especially in fields like Robotic Process Automation (RPA), where I've worked to increase productivity in company operations by reducing manual labor. Learning & Self-Development: To advance as a software engineer, I like to pick up new programming languages, tools, and frameworks. To keep up with the times, I often read books, attend online classes, and work on side projects. Games & Strategy: For me, playing strategic games like Scrabble and Chess helps me become more focused and analytical. In order to stay active and practice teamwork, which translates into collaboration in the workplace, I also enjoy playing football. Mentoring and Community Engagement: I'd like to share my knowledge and mentor budding devs. I like to participate in community forums and contribute to open-source projects where I can assist others develop.
