Explored Africa 🦁
Having visited Europe, America & Asia multiple times, I really wanted to explore Africa, and what a better way than a two week long trip across Mozambique and South Africa. Staying with locals, discovering paradise looking beaches and even going on safari!

2020
6 months on my fitness journey 💪
At around June 2020 I realised I needed to make a big change in my health-related habits, and so, I did. In December 2020, after almost 6 months of work, I decided to post a transformation picture.
Moved to Canary Islands 🏝
Not the best time to travel, huh? After 4 years of non-stop work in the UK and a very intense year of covid, I decided to go in pursuit of light and warmth. In September I left London to spend winter at the warmest place in Europe, Canary Islands.

My first websites 🧑🏻💻
The beginning of my web dev journey. After creating quite a few projects for fun using HTML, CSS, PHP and wordpress, I started my own SME website creation agency. Sucessfully delivered mutliple thousand dollar plus projects from the comfort of my bedroom.
My code went to Space 🛸
I participated in a program called Zero Robotics organised by NASA and the MIT in which we programmed spheres to move in a non-gravity environment and perform certain tasks. Our code ended up being ran on the ISS.
