Ive spent much of my life trying to decipher the mysteries of the world, whether tracing mathematical equations or the frayed wiring of a cars engine, because for me, curiosity isnt just a trait; its a toolkit. My career has been guided by curiosity, a desire to understand how systems work, from the intricacies of physics to the practical mechanics of everyday technology. I approach challenges methodically, blending analytical thinking with hands-on problem-solving, whether in academic research, collaborative projects, or running a mobile mechanic business. Perseverance has also defined my journey. I thrive when dissecting complex problems, iterating solutions, and learning from setbacks. My analytical mindset drives me to look beyond surface-level answers, constantly asking, What if? and How does this connect? This natural inclination aligns with my strengths in critical thinking, adaptability, and precision, allowing me to navigate complex challenges across disciplines.
