I don’t think you want to read my whole life story, so I am not going to tell you one… not a long one at least.

If I wasn’t an engineer … I’ll be a gourmet cook/chef or graphic designer.
I would like to … be a cartoonist (caricaturist to be precise).
My hat’s off to … a programmer’s lateral mind, how they write and see code.
Intrigued by … Graphic Design and the Mafia.
