CURRENT MISSION

to make a positive difference

ABOUT ME

I am interested in many things, in particular nature, animals, data viz, art, design, music, climbing, diving, anything outdoorsy. p.s. animal-lovers and people who are conscientious about their lifestyles / actions to the environment are a big plus to me .

Currently I am using tech (GIS, remote sensing, web development) and art + design to solve environmental problems and raise awareness for animals and conservation issues.

I also love scuba diving, my goal is to dive with a new shark species every year.
