Algorithms

Algorithms

I love solving riddles and problems and building stuff from scratch. My strong suit is that I don't give up without a fight. When trying to find the solution to a problem, I will not quit until I find at least one. The satisfaction I get from solving a problem can really make my day.

Music

Music

I can listen to music all day. I have a varied taste of music and I listen to it at work, during sports, riding my bike, on the train... I mostly listen old songs of indian artists like rafi , kishore , lata mangeshkar etc

Sports

Sports

I couldn't live without sports. In the weekend you will find me playing basketball - just check out my Runkeeper. Once or twice a week, you'll find me in the gym or at the tracks
