Summary

I love research and all its challenges. I sometimes code on the weekend for fun even though my family hates it. I see myself as a problem solver, and that whatever skills I have now are but just a tool; coding, writing, research etc, and if I have to learn a new skill to solve a certain problem, bring it on. I get scared sometimes, I am no superhero, but I remind myself by looking back at my growth in past 5 years, and that gives me the strength to push on.
