CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, visit the world!

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm a software engineer and entrepreneur, currently working in web/product consulting (remotely), learning japanese and planning a big trip to Japan.

Other than that I have a major interest in biology on a broad way and specifically in gerontology, human regenerative engineering and many other subjects.

I'm also on BeWelcome.

PHILOSOPHY

If you do not go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.
If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A three month backpack journey through interior Brazil.
My two visits to Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nature walks while talking about everything.
Having talks about science and philosophy.

I like helping people solve problems.
