Apart from being an ethical hacker, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors with my car and life partner. In addition to it, I am an avid gamer and love to play RPG's both on console as well as PC. I enjoy long drives, movies, and reading books.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring entrepreneur and love reading about tech startups and biographies of famous founders and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the cyber security and data science world.
