Programmer, web developer and sometimes... speecher, dreamer or thinker. Interested in Artificial Intelligence, IoT, open source technologies and programming languages. I am the principal author of the Navitron system.
Flight, photography, doing stuff with computers, geophysics, astronomy, Go game, cooking, evening walks, traveling to places impossible to find on booking.com... and another 11... and the list remains open.
Open minds, discoveries, creativity, kindness, dressed nature in the colors of October, exact sciences, literature, Linux and of course... I love Christmas.
Hypocrisy, prejudices, fear of new things, selfishness, superstitions, anger and greed; but not necessarily listed in this order. Seriously! I tried hard but I still feel limited or stuck to understand any of them.
