What sparked your interest in the technology industry?

During my high school days, I spent a significant amount of time browsing the internet. I was always intrigued by how things worked, especially when it came to technology. It was during this period that I made a firm decision to learn and explore more about these fascinating subjects.

If you were not working at Parspec, where would you be?

Although I cannot single out a specific company, I firmly believe that if an organization does not offer an environment conducive to my personal growth, similar to what I have experienced at Parspec, I would opt to work as a freelancer rather than joining any other company.

Chicken Burgers and Cold Coffee are my ultimate favorites when it comes to food. Whether it’s a juicy Whopper or a perfectly grilled chicken burger, you can always spot me relishing these mouthwatering treats

What do you like to do outside of work?
