# Programming
I discovered my love for programming circa 2020, and decided to switch majors from Biology to Computer Engineering. Since then, I have soaked myself in the world of programming as much as I could, reading over 100 technical books, spending most of my free time doing side-projects and watching tech YouTube.
I started as everyone probably did, with good ol' procedural and object-oriented programming. At some point, I came across Haskell, and it changed how I view programming forever. I started seeing programming as a form of artistic expression, something to be practiced with delicacy and elegance.
Nowadays, I approach programming with the same passion, but in a more relaxed way. I take care to dedicate my time to the things that matter the most to me, like my girlfriend and enjoying the little things of life. Having said that, I still try to get better every day.

# Reading
I love reading. My favourite genre is Fantasy, but I am open to try most things. For a long time my favourite author was Brandon Sanderson, and I still keep works such as Mistborn close to my heart (that book makes me cry every time), but I am trying to read other stuff as well. If you have any book recommendations, please hit me up!
# Gaming
Playing video games is another one of passions. Well, not really videogames, but specifically Pokemon games. I've been following the series since I have memory and have been playing competitively for some time now. I would absolutely love to be able to attend a championship one day. It's in my bucket list 😉.
# Cooking
I love cooking as a form of art and deeply appreciate flavors and the technique needed to make them come to life. Admittedly, I've been a little laid back on this aspect of my life, but I am planning on putting more effort into it.
