PORTFOLIO
As the oldest child of my generation in my family and my early education only focused on tests and exams, my only source of guidance for my future was the internet. Sometimes, life felt like a solo journey trying to navigate through space unaware of any possible destinations.
I had always been interested in working towards creating a positive change in our world and grew up at a time when the presence of technology around me kept growing stronger. I was drawn to technology because of what it can do as well as the impact it had on the world and the people around me.
