OCCUPATION
He says he is able to use elements of his job in computer engineering to help improve his shooting. "I liked both things a lot but sport was a passion I had since I was a child and computer science was the profession I liked. Engineering trains your mind for different types of reasoning, and I often apply it to the sport. In a competition, a competitor has to find immediate solutions to solve problems arising and to make estimates."
