In case you want to know more about me

Commitment is an act, not a word. 

Jean Paul Sartre

I'm a product design engineer living in Boston. I'm a cinephile and music lover. I enjoy watching movies in my free time with my wife.  My favorite genres of music are instrumental, new age, classical, and deep house but I won't say no to anything that is worth listening to. Some of my favorite movies are Lord of the Rings, The last samurai, Inception, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate for action figures and comic books specially Tintin.
