    I usually do math, a lot of math and some drawings. There's beauty in numbers.

    Driving past your projects, you could see how far you'd come, how much you've done and you could proudly say "I did that."

    It's a mans world. You always have to do extra to prove you're worth the spot.

  • Inspiration

    My mom. She's an amazing woman who sacrificed a lot for us to get to where we are  now. 

  • Want to be an Engineer?

    Do it. Despite everything you hear against you DO IT. 
    Don't let the world dictate what you can and can not do. 

  • Hobbies

    I race with a motorbike on the weekends.
