I hold the certifications of Regional Coach (2016) and National Minibasket Instructor (2023), which validate my continuous commitment to the sport and to youth development. These experiences outside of IT have enhanced my ability to lead teams, mentor individuals, and work under pressure — skills that I also bring into my professional career as a Full Stack Developer.

In addition to basketball, I enjoy traveling, exploring new technologies, and gaming — especially the Pokémon series. I am also an amateur photographer, passionate about capturing moments and stories through images.
