The Real Me:
"I'm not a prodigy or genius - just an average person who believes in sheer willpower, dedication, and hard work to achieve goals. I choose failure over regret."
Mountains & Mental Health:
I go to mountains to fix my mental health, then realize my physical health needs equal attention. Solo trekking and swimming provide me-time for organizing thoughts and meditation.
Passions:
├── Reading books (Mythology, Stoicism, Fantasy Fiction, Manga)
├── Trekking & mountaineering
├── Swimming in oceans
├── Traveling alone for self-reflection
└── Overthinking about the future (in nature, obviously)
Career Origin Story:
Okay, I admit it, Cloud & Cybersecurity wasn't exactly my master plan. It was just a whim, a random thought that popped into my head one day.
Little did I know, that casual whim unlocked a wonderland of creativity, logic, and endless learning. Building cloud infrastructure and securing systems feels like playing with advanced Legos.
Fast-forward to today, five years in, and I'm not just an engineer – I'm an accidental adventurer riding the waves of cloud technology with a grin on my face.
From spearheading projects that make a difference to navigating the exhilarating chaos of rapid growth, every day is a new frontier.
