Other Interests

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

I enjoy quite a few movies, TV shows, and video games (although I don’t do as much gaming as I used to). Some of my favorites of each include:

  • 🎬 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 you’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 Ka’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:

  • πŸ’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)
  • πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Meditation
  • πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ Yoga
  • πŸ‘ƒ Aromatherapy
  • πŸ₯Ά Contrast therapy (cold plunging)
