A bit more about me

I'm passionate about music, especially playing the guitar. I like exploring various styles, from rock and jazz to blues, flamenco, and classical. I love travelling with my wife and our adventures are often paired with the simple joys of savouring a well-brewed cup of coffee.

My truest source of satisfaction lies in the intricate craft of building things from scratch. It is in this process of creation that I immerse myself wholeheartedly, captivated by the journey of crafting and the inexhaustible quest for acquiring new skills and knowledge.
