MOVEMENT · DISCIPLINE
Martial arts
Presence, repetition, humility and the ability to remain soft enough to respond.
CULTURE / PERSONAL CONTEXT
Things I return to when I want to feel alive and see clearly.
Movement, films, books, games and projects that genuinely shape how I pay attention. Not credentials and not an algorithmic top ten — just the honest second layer behind the work.

Context, not credentials.
My engineering work should stand on its own. This page exists for the curious person who wants to understand the values, energy and aesthetic instincts behind it.
01 / LIVING PRACTICES
Thinking with the body — and with friends.
Some of the most useful lessons never arrived through a screen: relax without becoming passive, read the other person, adapt quickly, trust the team and stay playful under pressure.
SPEED · FEEDBACK
Table tennis
Read spin, adjust timing, recover immediately and never confuse one point with the whole game.
VOLLEYBALL · TEAM ENERGY
Fly High!
Trust the call, cover one another and meet the ball at the highest point together.
BOARD GAME · COMMUNICATION
Decrypto
Precise clues, shared context and the joy of being understood without being obvious.
02 / FOUNDATIONS
Ideas that changed the direction of my life.
These are not endorsements of every sentence. They are works that created a durable question in me.

— Carl Jung

Two films I return to.
The full history lives on Letterboxd. These two hold something more personal: restraint, longing, creative ambition and the lives we might have lived.
