"Focus on the user and all else will follow" - Google

I have a natural curiosity for what, how, and why people do what they do and a continuous hunger to learn new technologies. I’m passionate about Human-Computer Interaction because it is the harmonious blend between my two passions, people and technology. With my passion, I hope to one day change the world by innovating the way people interact with technology by creating compelling and beautiful experiences.
