Interests

Recreational basketball player and Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, I also enjoyed traveling and can watch any science fiction movie(Battlestar Galactica is by far my favorite).

While not learning a new programming language or catching up on the latest innovation in machine learning, I enjoy experimenting with Sub-saharan, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking recipes.
