Beyond the code

A bit more about me

Most of my hobbies live in the creative world — I do makeup, I sew, and I'm picking up DJing. I'm also a big film fan, especially horror and sci-fi/fantasy. On the gaming side, I play and stream — mostly horror and survival crafting games. I'm also a huge fan of escape rooms.
