Software Engineer | NASA Open Source Contributor
This is my personal space. I am dedicated to creating things like apps, websites, and videos. This is also my hobby, where I turn ideas into projects that can be useful, interesting, or fun. I also teach software engineering. I love to volunteer for environmental protection. I like bicycles, robotics, and astronomy. I take a lot of photos. And I live in a city on Earth where the sun sets over the sea.





My ideas
For every project that I made I work on a cover art that captures the essence of the project, its purpose or its impact. I also write a case study about the project.
