Now

This is a now page. It serves as an update on what you’re currently focusing on, inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now page concept.

I would love to think of it and have something clear to say, but there’s nothing very important as of now going on.

Work

I finished Computer Engineering 2 years ago, and have been working at Panelais and now at uXcale, a tech consulting firm. In this company I have been working for Quant AI Lab (AI company) and now for almost 8 months at Santander Bank.

Got recently the Scrum Master certification and so far I’m loving the scrum methodology, really helps set objectives and a healthy mindset around “work” being it professional or personal.

Sport

As for my life… quit gym last summer (and therefore powerlifting, got a PR of 160KG at Deadlift) to begin a journey in Judo at a local gym which is really good! It’s called Doryoku and they have an impressive competitive level and really good ambience. It’s 3 times a week 2 hours each time, but I go as much as two days and some weeks only a day. Got yellow belt and my tokui-waza is Tai Otoshi, or at least I would say it is, maybe it’s too soon to tell. Recently got a 24KG Kettlebell to keep exercising in dynamic moves mixed with strength.

Personal Projects

Recently, I also started a project to analyze on which things I’m spending my money on, because it disappears fast and I’m trying to save more hehe

The code repository is called santander-parser and it’s a microservice made with FastAPI that takes the Excel file you can download from Santander Bank, and stores it in a database. You can filter by quantity, date or range of dates, concept, etc.

Still working on it when I have time.

Videogames

Bought this week Asetto Corsa and its Japanese pack for 3€ and have been playing Manor Lords at PC and Dave the Diver at the Nintendo Switch.

Dave the Diver is really addicting!

Family

And when I’m not working, programming or playing videogames… I try to spend quality time with my girlfriend!

Went together to Santander and it was really good! Loved the city. Here are the best photos I took those days.

End of /now

And that’s more or less a recap of my life!
