Not everything needs to be known. In fact, if you think about it, nothing can truly be known. You only know what you think you know. However, accepting what you don't know—those mysteries of existence—is like fully embracing your life, because life is defined by limitations. Working and striving within those limitations is what makes life so exciting. Mysteries enhance our existence; they are the source of our imagination, creativity, and inspiration.

Having said that, let me offer you a brief glimpse into my world and the persona I embody. Then, let your imagination do the rest.

What Moves Me

I am a blend of opposites. Computers have always been part of my life—a material device capable of magic, the wizard's wand of the modern age. Technological progress continually fuels my sense of wonder: the Internet, smartphones, cloud computing, DLT, AI—I have seen everything there is under the sun! And yet, there is always something unknowable. Mysterious.

As a DLT Architect and AI Researcher, I push boundaries and explore the frontiers of technology. What will distributed finance look like in ten years? Where is AI's limit in mimicking the human mind? What makes a human irreplaceable?

That's the other side of the coin: the immaterial, the intangible, the spiritual. What makes us human? What is consciousness? What is the meaning of life? Here, I delve into philosophy, psychology, and spirituality—but only to a certain extent.

Because, ultimately, not everything needs to be answered. The meaning of life is to express your truth—your unique perspective on reality. And any perspective by definition includes something that is hidden from it, waiting to be filled by the creative depths of our unconscious mind. Something irreplaceable by any machine.

In this spirit, I do my part: I code, I paint, and I explore the timeless art of analog photography through the lens of my vintage Nikon FE2.

I live my truth.
