Interests & Lifestyle
Technology
I've had an interest in tech since very young, having ventured in both software and hardware every time I can. I've been recently very invested in AI with hobby-projects.
Art & Design
I grew up in a family of artists, so I'd go as far as saying I learned to communicate through images and textures before learning how to speak. Luckily, I also learned how to speak!
Video Games
It all started with classics such as Doom, Quake, Warcraft and so on. My personal favorites are RPG's, MMO's, Indies and racing games with steering wheel and all!
Motorsports
A big part of my life happens on top of my classical motorcycle. Nothing clears my mind for new projects better than riding through a scenic view in the country roads.
Cultures & Tradition
I love to meet new cultures and dive in different traditions. There's so much to learn from the past, and I belive it's the best source of inspiration.
Handmade Crafts
On my free time I run my own leathercraft workshop, registered Kustom Hides. I make art pieces for home decor, automotive items and cultural accessories.
