Hello! I'm Jimbo Cortes. Yep, my name is really Jimbo. That's not my nickname, like some people would assume (I'm looking at you Shikha).

I'm from the Philippines but currently living in Singapore for almost 4 years now. Typing gibberish codes in the computer is what I do for living.

Interests

- Well, I'm obsessed with the beach. Who doesn't?
- I love Indian food! One time, I went to Mumbai for a week and gained 2kgs afterwards. The spices!
- I think I'm good at playing pool and Table Tennis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've finished a couple of Half-ironman triathlon races in Cebu and Subic. It's a race where you have to swim (1.9km), bike (90km) and run (21km). In my second attempt, I achieved my personal goal to finish it under 6 hours. But It wasn't easy! It may be a physically demanding sport but the real challenge is in your head. The mental battle of whether you should take a rest or just keep pushing forward. Also, I made a lot of friends because of this craziness!
