Life isn't all about AI and product management! Here's what keeps me energized, inspired, and (mostly) sane outside of work. 😄
Running
Running enthusiast

Singing is my go-to stress reliever. I occasionally post on social media (if I am happy enough to share my recordings)

Who says jump rope is just for kids? I love the challenge of learning new tricks and combos. It's like dancing meets cardio meets coordination challenge. Plus, it's a great conversation starter: 'You do what for fun?!' 🤸♂️
Gaming
