This website
This is my home on the web. A place where I blog some thoughts and run a few experiments.
Here, you can learn more about me, my work as software engineer and other stuff I have been up to.
House rules
Just to be clear: this is my space - I own the content, the opinions are my own, and it does not represent the company I work for at the moment.

Music
Every now and then I record something.

One is a lie
- I once worked in an obscure, surreal, movie production, so my name is on IMDB.
- I am afraid of heights, but I once bungee jumped from 68 meters high.
- Cristiano Ronaldo used to chill at my neighbor's house, but I never really talked to him.
- I got a tattoo of a French character done by an American dude in the Czech Republic.

I'm using Astro as a generator and a lot of customisations pieced together from astro-m2dx and the unified.js ecosystem.
There's a lot more information in the meta section of this website.
