Welcome to my puzzle lover’s paradise! I’m thrilled to have you here, exploring the fascinating world of jigsaw puzzles alongside me. By day, I navigate the intricate world of software engineering, tackling codes and algorithms, but as soon as the clock strikes five, I eagerly swap my work hat for my puzzle-solving cap, immersing myself in the vibrant and satisfying realm of jigsaw puzzles.

​

My passion for puzzles can be traced back to my husbands childhood actually. Each Christmas, my husband’s grandmother would gift the family a large jigsaw puzzle, transforming holiday gatherings into a friendly competition to see if it could be completed it by New Year’s. It was particularly special when my husband’s mother gifted us our very first puzzle to collaborate on as a couple. Although I was bursting with excitement to finish, often nudging him out of the way in my eagerness, his unwavering support and encouragement made the experience all the more enjoyable. 

​

Today, I have made it a habit to keep a few puzzles set up at all times in our living room. It has become a cherished routine to unwind after a long day by piecing together the puzzle while we watch our favorite TV shows, allowing us to enjoy quality time while engaging in a delightful challenge. Recently, I embarked on the exhilarating journey of speed puzzling, which has introduced a thrilling new dimension to my puzzle-solving experience. While I may not hold the record for the fastest puzzler out there, I wholeheartedly embrace every adventure, participating in competitions under the playful moniker Border Patrol Puzzler. The rush of competing against the clock and fellow puzzlers brings a level of excitement that keeps me motivated to improve my skills.
