A calm and thoughtful man blending the world of logic in software engineering and financial market investing with a slower, analog, creative side of books, psychology, music, cinema, and reflective writing. I keep journals and travel logs, a habit from my days in traditional penfriends clubs. On the active side, I enjoy cycling, running, and exploring places like Lisbon, Amsterdam, or the Alps, sometimes with my family, sometimes solo. I always bring a camera to capture understated details, sights, and people. My guitar, now abandoned, remembers the days I played in a band.
