- Music
I’ve played drums since I was a kid. Even though I never wanted to make a career in music, playing with other musicians is a very important and fulfilling part of my life.
More recently, I’ve also been eager to learn more about Music Theory and create “chiptune” music inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy game consoles. Read more about this project.
