Other Interests

Outside of computer science and music, I have a few other areas that I am passionate about.

TV, Movies, and Video Games

I enjoy quite a few movies, TV shows, and video games (although I donโ€™t do as much gaming as I used to). Some of my favorites of each include:

  • ๐ŸŽฌ Movies: Any James Bond movie, any Jim Carrey movie, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, any Disney movie (my favorite is Robin Hood)

Investing

I do not claim to know what I am doing, but I do enjoy messing around in the stock market. I mostly utilize the Robinhood app. If youโ€™d like to check it out as well, feel free to signup using my referral link by going here (we both get 1 free share of stock).

Natural Health

I am passionate about various natural well-being practices, and helping others make healthier decisions. I am especially a big believer in plant-based diets. Some of my favorite companies that I currently use are Kaโ€™Chava (a plant-based nutrition/protein shake) and Naturelo (for natural supplements like turmeric, ashwagandha, plant-based multivitamins, etc.). The well-being practices I am invested in include the following:

  • ๐Ÿ’Š Natural Supplementation (I daily take supplements like turmeric, white/black garlic, ashwagandha root, fish oil, a mushroom blend, a greens blend, and a variety of other things)
  • ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ Meditation
  • ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Yoga
  • ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Aromatherapy
  • ๐Ÿฅถ Contrast therapy (cold plunging)
