Interests & Hobbies

Beyond my work in infrastructure and operations, I spend a lot of time with my camera. I shoot primarily on a Fujifilm X-T30 II, and I’ve found that my annual travels to Japan have helped me sharpen the art of noticing - training myself to look for details in composition and lighting that are easy to miss at first glance. Whether I’m framing a shot or troubleshooting a system, I try to bring that same focus to the task at hand. It’s a useful way to step back from the screen and practice a different kind of observation.
