I don't cook to eat — I cook to impress. My true joy is throwing dinner events and watching people's faces when they take the first bite. The more complex the dish, the better. If it doesn't involve at least three techniques and one near-disaster, was it even worth it? Spoiler: the guests never find out about the near-disaster.

It started as a passion, became my profession, and honestly still is both. Sometimes I close my work laptop and immediately open a personal project to try a new framework, a wild architecture idea, or something absolutely nobody asked for. The difference between work coding and hobby coding is that hobby coding has no deadlines — just vibes and caffeine.

Football has been a constant presence in my life — always on, always emotional, always disappointing and glorious in the same 90 minutes. But my true pinnacle? The Olympic Games. Every four years I become absolutely insufferable, watching fencing at 2am and crying at the marathon finish line. Sport never left me — I just stopped playing some of them.
