I enjoy crafting elegant logical structures, working with powerful abstractions, and solving problems in one line (before refactoring for readability). For fun, I solve project Euler problems and tinker with laser cutters. My favorite design pattern is Flyweight. Currently travelling (Nepal, Thailand, ..).
