Who am I and what I do?

Out of all the things I could call myself, builder is probably the most accurate.

As a kid, I played for hours with metal construction sets using real screws and bolts to assemble cars, cranes and whatever else my imagination came up with. I liked creating my own versions taking things apart and rebuilding them.

As a teenager, that instinct turned inward. I started building my own identity, questioning things, deciding what traits or habits to keep and what to cut off. Literally, I was inserting free will into the dilemma of nature versus nurture.

As an adult, that same mindset shows up in my work. I build software, systems, tools and it still gives me the same joy I had while playing as a kid.

Over time, this habit shifted from simply creating things or amusing myself toward growth, improvement and real-life impact.

I also had a large interest in psychology and philosophy. As I read and learnt those fields deeper and understood myself better, my self-awareness grew. That brought stronger empathy and a clearer sense of agency, followed by a deeper feeling of responsibility. I started becoming more physically active, which also sharpened my mind. For many years now I’ve been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Both the practice itself and the community have taught me many things. But, above all - patience, calmness and clarity under pressure.

Thus, the responsibility I take for my own well-being naturally extends outward, so I like leaving things a little better than I found them. I genuinely enjoy working on software that targets real-life problems and makes things a bit easier for us.
