Interests
Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being in the mounts. In the winter I can be found skiing while during warmer months I'm often mountain biking or rock climbing.
When I can't be as active, I enjoy photography and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
