Interests

I have a lot of hobbies.

Being a backend developer, I like to learn new technologies and frameworks to build all sorts of tools and applications. Check out some of my open-source projects on my GitHub.

I'm also what some may call a "Sneakerhead." I have a lifestyle brand, Clean Your Shoes, which focuses on sneaker maintenance + culture. Although I consider it a lifestyle brand, it really is the playground in which I work on and expand my various interests and hobbies.

Besides the code and sneakers, I also like photography. While I mostly shoot for fun, I have lent my "services" in various local shows, exhibits, and publications. I currently do not have a website that showcases my work, but you can see some of my recent work for The One Moto Show 2025 here.

Finally, I also like motorsports, sports in general, classic film + television, fashion, and travel.
