Photgraphy, Table Tennis

  • Outside of my professional endeavors in ammonia plant operations, I have a deep passion for photography. Capturing moments and scenes through the lens allows me to explore creativity and appreciate the beauty in everyday life. Whether it's landscapes, portraits, or street photography, I find joy in framing compositions and playing with light to convey emotions and narratives.


  • Beyond my professional commitments in the ammonia plant, I'm deeply passionate about table tennis (TT), which I wholeheartedly pursue as a hobby. This dynamic sport not only serves as a means of physical exercise but also engages my competitive spirit and sharpens my mental agility.
