I’m that kind of person who combines action and reflection. I love discovering new concepts, places, people, and ideas. Then I spend long hours thinking about them, trying to understand every detail, every connection, every piece of the reality that brings us closer to happiness, to freedom, and to a better world.
I believe some words are pure guiding advisors for any venture. There words are trust, honesty, commitment, curiosity, and good will. With them, we humans can beat all threats, either AI, wars, natural disasters, and everything.
But, overall, I believe in good people.
