Personal InterestsOutside of work and school, I like to spend my time with a lot of different hobbies. One of the main ones is playing video games with friends. Another is drawing, and it was actually my first ever passion I tried to pursue before I made the jump to computer science (and subsequently UI/UX). I also love going outside and exploring; I'm always so infatuated with nature and I find immersing myself in it extremely calming. My last main hobby is editing videos; which is actually a fairly recent hobby I've picked up, but I've quickly grown to love it (maybe it's because of all the YouTube videos I watched as a kid...). And on a similar note, I have a Youtube channel where I record drawing timelapses and discuss things I've played/seen, because I want an excuse to yap I want an outlet to sharpen my skills in public speaking and critical analysis.Why UI/UX?Growing up I was a pretty artistic kid; I loved doodling and making comics that I could share with friends. But, I slowly burnt myself out and found myself lacking time or motivation to draw. I was also not optimistic about my career prospects if I went into an artistic field, so I latched onto computer science since I was alright at coding in high-school. However, after going into college, I quickly realized I was not built for things like back-end development. Fortunately, after I worked on a few projects in college, I discovered UI/UX and how it was a perfect intersection between design and coding, and it made me get that creative spark again that I thought I lost forever. And ever since then I knew this was the career path for me.
