Beyond Technology
When I'm not architecting systems or writing code, I'm deeply interested in health optimization and longevity. I believe in the importance of healthspan—not just living longer, but living better with vitality and purpose.
I'm also passionate about knowledge sharing and continuous learning. This blog serves as a platform to share insights, experiences, and lessons learned throughout my journey in technology and beyond.
