Interests

Besides my study, I enjoyed working out, making music and anything related to rowing. I have rowed competetively for 4 years, and coached competetive rowers for 3.

During my time as a programmer, I have noticed that there are not a lot of things as satisfying as finishing a well-written, watertight piece of code. I hope to encounter more of those moments in the future!
