About me

This page tells my story. It’s not better than anyone else’s nor it is special in any way, but it is mine and I wanted to tell about it.

My story

I was born in 1988 in León in Flag of Spain Spain. My early years can be seen from many different angles: NES & SNES kid, suffered 56 Kbps dial-up Internet, used computers for the first time with Windows 98, knows that the “Save” button was drawn after a floppy disk, enjoyed music in cassette tapes, enjoyed movies in VHS, victim of the 2007-2008 financial crysis, and many more.

Currently, I live in Flag of Denmark Denmark.

My hobbies

I have always liked videogames and still play them today. One of my favourite games during childhood was Terranigma. I’m currently enjoying Ark: Survival Evolved’s mix of sandbox, dinosaurs and sci-fi. Anime is something else I have loved for a long time now. I watched Akira too early as a kid, and it really impressed me. I still feel a little impressed when every time I rewatch that movie. My favourite animes ever are Kara no Kyōkai and the 2007 remake of Toward the Terra, both of which still touch me deep today.

I also really like music. Almost everything, for instance: metal (Manowar, Neue Deutsche Härte), dark (Deine Lakaien), folk, cumbia… And anything in between. Fusion genres (Electro swing, Synthwave, Psychobilly, Folk-metal) are absolutely amazing.

Aside of all of this, I enjoy photography, watching movies and TV shows (top tier: Interstellar), and I spend a lot of time learning and tinkering with anything that catches my attention.

Something I have been doing constantly, both professionally and in my spare time, is teaching and mentoring. I really love to teach and help people learn and acquire new competencies, and have been doing it with fellow students, fellow workers, elders, and remotely with people in other countries. Being part of someone else’s growth is an awesome thing.

My personality

I’m an introvert. Sometimes INTJ, sometimes ISTP. I love to analyze, read, and learn, but I learn the most by doing and seeing. Learning makes me happy. I’m analytic, but also really hands-on. I love to teach and help.

I’m open minded and tolerant. I’m a xenophile, I LOVE whoever and whatever is diferent. I have a strong sense of justice. I’m straightforward, direct and to the point, but I could be speaking for hours about anything I like. I have opinions and I like people with opinions. I love debating. My opinions are sometimes strong, and are usually backed by facts but sometimes they aren’t. I think with my brain, and thanks to my wife I’ve started thinking with my heart as well.

Stuff I like: Sci-fi. Astronomy. The Universe. Straightforward people. Freedom. Honesty. Tinkering. Dinosaurs. Rodents. Pizza. Salads. Mexican food. Niche sense of humor. Niche, non mainstream stuff. Debating. Speaking. When someone knows you enough to complete what you are saying before you actually say it. Discovering things that surprise me. Empowering my inner child. Things that have a story behind. Skilled people. Respectful people.

Stuff I dislike: Learning by memorizing - understanding is better. Lies. Fanatism. Unfair discrimination. Segregation. Classism. Any form of abuse. Bullying. Shallow, superficial people. Doing the exact same thing too often (automate it, heck!).
