Hobbies
In my free time I enjoy playing the guitar. I can play both the acoustic as well as the electric guitar. However, I prefer playing on the electric guitar since it is more versatile. I also love to listen to music and watch movies. I am also an avid programmer. I love to write little scripts which improve my workflow or automate a mundane task in my life.
