I've been professionally working with computers for twenty years, both design and code. Written C, Objective-C, Swift, JavaScript, Python, now Rust.
Founded a startup and had a successful exit. Built a tuner app that hit top 10 in the music category (2012), beating competitors on accuracy and responsiveness.
Polyglot: Portuguese, Romanian, English, Spanish.
What drives me: solving problems, shipping tools, learning how to do both better.

Fiction
Les Misérables (Victor Hugo)
This book is meaningful at so many levels that it worths a reading every decade for a different perspective.
Science
The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Richard Feynman)
A fascinating read on how the world really works—as much as we can figure it out, anyway.
Music
Hard to choose.
I'll pick two composers from the same era: Debussy and Satie. They've been faithful companions through countless hours of work.
Games
Disco Elysium (ZA/UM)
A masterpiece with a deeply haunting soundtrack. The flawed human at its center—the fool, the joker, the loser. No redemption arc, no greater purpose, no hero in the way we're accustomed to heroes. And yet, the greatest hero.
Philosophy
Friedrich Nietzsche
The guy whose name I could never spell. He looked at the world and wrote what he truly saw—with great comprehension and without filter. A pillar of intellectual honesty.
