Sports
The games I play, follow, and love.
Sports have been more than just activities to me, they've been a platform for leadership, teamwork, and personal growth. From playing on the field to coaching from the sidelines, sports have taught me valuable lessons that translate directly into my work as a software engineer.

What Sports Taught Me
The parallels between coaching and software engineering are striking. Both require strategic thinking, the ability to adapt on the fly, and the skill to communicate complex ideas simply. Leading a team on the pitch prepared me for leading technical discussions and collaborating in agile environments.
