Interests

  • Gaming (Having grown up with this particular hobby, it's what propelled me into many of my other hobbies and job seeking)
  • Technology (The latest tech news is on my radar, comparisons between brands, performances, processing of memory, anything you might think of)
  • Film (I find the medium of film, specifically during the period between 40s-70s, to be of the most interest to me due to the emphasis on storytelling with limited technology)
  • Video Essays (I enjoy the process of cross-referencing information, specifically in a visual manner, so video essays on subjects of interest are of great value to me)
  • Writing (Whether it be creative writing or journaling, something about writing is a fantastic stress reliever)
