Hobbies & Interests
I love staying active with sports like beach volleyball, padel, table tennis, and clear my mind with vinyasa yoga.When I'm not on the court, you can find me bouldering and pushing my limits on the climbing wall.
I'm very curious by nature and love trying foods from all over the world.
I'm passionate about photography and creating travel videos to capture the beauty of the places I visit. Check out my visual journey on Instagram @fvphotons
Music is another passion of mine - I play guitar and love to experiment with different sounds and styles.
In general, I love to build things! Whether it's crafting something beautiful with wood or diving into electronics and IoT projects using the wireless ESP8266 module . There's something incredibly satisfying about bringing ideas to life with your own hands.
