Interests

Apart from being a SRE/DevOps Engineer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. During summer, I and my family loved to travel somewhere locally and internationally to unwind. I enjoy mountain biking, free climbing, and kayaking.

Mostly, I spent my time with my family during weekends going to Church, attending our community brotherhood, and eating at the mall, and the kid playground.

When forced indoors, I follow several sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements and tools within the SRE and DevOps organization as well as the best practices.
