About
Who I Am
Computer Scientist working as Technical Product and Design manager. I'm passionate about computers since my childhood when my dad brought at home an Apple II clone. Computer gaming and electronics inspired me since very young and has contributed to shape what I am today. Since then I've got introduced to several other hobbies. All of them are somehow connected with either computers and numbers, outdoors or asian traditions. A lot of cross overs too including a hint of cooking are today part of my life.
With the arrival of my son, I've got inspired to write more about what I do, or what we do as family, so he may one day read all through this. I hope to inspire him somehow.
You will find all sort of stuff here. I don't aim to do this anything serious reading. I rather add relaxed reading about miscellaneous topics, even though some of the may sound very serious. Anyways, I invite you to take a look and leave your comments.
My Interests outside regular work hours
What bring me joy [not necessarily in order]
Cooking
Learning how to cook and how to apply some of my thoughts on cooking skills. I truly believe that anyone is capable to do anything reasonably well. Cooking is about passion but a lot more about technique and practice. I'm trying to bring up my cooking skill levels to something I could really say I manage it. It's been a long journey so far.
Living Outdoors and Sports
Living outdoors is my perception of freedom, nature connection and ultimately happiness. Through different hobbies and adventures I believe all of us should encounter the reasons to spend hours behind our desks. As the jargon says you should work for living and not live for working. This is what I do outside working hours.
Travels
My walks around the world. It happens that my job requires me to travel, but besides it I've developed the taste for travel since very early in my life. I regret to not been able to make good records (photos, videos or journals) from all my travels, but here you may find some interesting factoids during my trips.
