I used to think that reading would make me wise.

One day, ten pages before finishing a book, I realized that I had read that same book before. At that point, my perspective on reading and, therefore, my life had changed.

Now, I don't care how many books I read; I take many notes, connect dots, and share what I've found on my blog and my newsletter.

I'm interested in many things at the same time; I am a multipotentialite. On my blog, you’ll find me talking about multiple aspects of life like leadership, software engineering, philosophy, psychology, software architecture & design, urban & industrial design, exercising, finance, Formula 1 Racing, eating healthy, and many more.

I’m a software engineering manager; that’s my current job.

At home, I'm a writer and an avid reader.

I rarely watch TV, movies or TV series. I don't have any social media accounts (except Mastodon, where I have automated posting of my new articles). Hence, I often miss the popular culture references in conversations. That's alright. I don't have FOMO; I embrace JOMO.

I rarely read fictional books.

I run, train for strength and do fitboxing. I am focused on increasing my lifespan and improving my healthspan.

I don't have any analytics on my blog because knowing how many people are reading my writing is NOT what I care about. I also don’t check viewing analytics from Substack. I care about replies or comments to my thoughts so we can have meaningful conversations.
