Interests

I am very interested in music: from rock of almost every genre to classical, from pop to jazz, and americana. I started learning to play the acoustic and electric guitar when I was 14 (self-taught) and performed on a few rock bands over the years, mainly with my brother Leo . I usually played the guitar and my brother, drums. Sadly I cannot find the time to practice anymore, but I like very much to combine Engineering and Music, Audio Applications etc.

I also like to fix things, specially electronics, and reuse and repurpose things.  Home automations, embedded systems, and IoT are my latest interest.  In my undergraduate years I liked to program and tinker with microcontrollers. When I started giving classes of Embedded Systems, I had the opportunity to do that again. Now I like to spend time learning and implementing Home Assistant functionalities in my home and trying to find yet another application for ESP32s.

Reading and learning. Playing video-games. I like to read and learn useless trivia. I am very passionate about History and Etymology in general. Go check this Youtube channel, it is awesome!
