05 — About

Learning is a
lifelong process.

I’ve always been drawn to learning — especially when it helps make complex things clearer and more useful. My background is rooted in Mathematics and Computer Science, where I developed a love for structured thinking, problem-solving, and building systems that work in the real world.

Today I work as an operations and information systems professional, with experience in financial reconciliation, discrepancy investigation, access management, and building internal business applications. I'm currently pursuing a Master of Information Systems, with a career focus on IT Audit and Technology Risk.

At the core of everything I do is a commitment to lifelong learning — continuously exploring, improving, and creating.
