Additional Information

Outside of work, I have a deep passion for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), where I actively participate in fencing tournaments. Recently, I’ve returned to karate, a martial art I practiced in my childhood, which has rekindled my appreciation for discipline and personal growth. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bike, going to the gym, and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. I also find creative fulfillment in playing the guitar, singing, and exploring poetry. These interests keep me balanced, focused, and always striving for improvement—both personally and professionally.
