Music runs deep. I have always been drawn to a musical career — violinist, gospel music, church music, and choral four-part harmony where I sing 1st Bass.
-
I take testing seriously. I love problems that let me apply Test-Driven Development, and I aim for 100% code coverage on my own self-directed projects.
-
Outside the screen. I love God, my family, my friends, and my pets. I enjoy swimming, badminton, table tennis, hot chocolate, and strong coffee.

Coding as a creative act. I love coding for myself and have a deep passion for solving programming puzzles. I am a creative by calling — and I love working in teams.
