Hobbies
In my free time, I love watching and betting on football and basketball. I have an ever-growing collection of vinyl records, and I also spend a lot of my time playing video games with my friends. I love working on projects that tie into my hobbies, such as NBANeural.net to help gain an edge in sports betting or my Spotify playlist generator.
