Padel
I play padel alongside running and functional training. It's another way I enjoy spending time away from the keyboard.

Beyond Engineering.
Different interests. The same curiosity.

Key Reading
Reading / 01
The Picture of Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde
- Philosophical fiction
- Gothic fiction
- decadent literature
One of my favorite books, exploring themes of beauty, morality, and the pursuit of pleasure. Lord Henry's character is particularly intriguing, with his cynical views on life and society. Oscar Wilde is my favorite author, and this book perfectly captures his wit and wisdom. I have his complete works in my personal library and I am so sad that he died so young and left us with such a limited body of work.
Reading / 02
Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
- Philosophical fiction
Obviously I love philosophical fiction. It seams like when you go deep in any direction such as me with engineering you end up in philosophy. Nobody want's to be a one dimensional person, right? This book is a beautiful exploration of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. It is written with such simplicity and depth, making it a timeless classic that resonates with readers.
