hobbies
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time playing chess, where I’ve reached a peak rating of 1500. I enjoy the problem-solving and long-term thinking it requires. I also stay consistent in the gym, and spend time building small web and programming projects to keep improving. When I’m not doing that, I like cooking and experimenting with new recipes.
