Interests

Outside of technology, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee on my college club team, as well as running and biking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, play video games on my PC and Nintendo Switch, and work on overall self-improvement.
