A graduate in Aeronautical and Astronautical engineering with a passion for cross-platform mobile development, data analysis, and Bitcoin

I am a dynamic and multi-talented individual with a passion for technology and innovation. A graduate of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, I always had a fascination with the world of flight and spent countless hours during my time in college building and flying remote control planes. I am a skilled data analyst and cross-platform mobile developer. I am constantly learning and staying up-to-date on the latest technologies and trends in these fields. But my interests don't stop there. I am also a passionate believer in the potential of cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin. I am a self-proclaimed "bitcoin maximalist," often evangelizing the potential of the technology to friends and colleagues. Overall, I am a well-rounded and highly skilled individual with a diverse set of interests and expertise. I am driven by a love of learning and a desire to constantly push myself to be better.
