1| Passions

I'm a good listener, and people are very interesting.
While I'm somewhat shy and interaction can get very overwhelming, talking and learning and sharing with others makes me happy.
Sharing ideas is great because it shows me other windows to the world and allows me to challenge my beliefs.
I try to always make others comfortable and engaged, and while I may not talk a lot I'm always paying attention to you!
I really like feeling music, not just listening. I try to make my own sometimes.
Music can really change my mood and every kind of it is beautiful in the right context. I'm not too picky about it, just play something to me!
I built my own MIDI keyboard+sequencer, and while it's still not perfect I'm very proud of my design.
Recently I'm playing (sometimes live) with a sampler, i love jamming and it freed me from producing on a computer. Check my soundcloud!
While I mostly work with computers, I try to keep them out of my music. I dream of modular synth walls blinking and always playing for me.
Computers are fun, and I'm especially interested in operating systems, embedded software, security and system design.
I love Linux, all my local and remote machines run some flavor of it.
I'm a minimalist: I try to use only what I need and do the "plumbing" myself wherever I can. I really dislike waste!
Tinkering is so much fun and it teaches me a lot. I'm constantly tinkering on some software, often mine, as it keeps me puzzled and entertained. Check my git!
I work best with a terminal: shell automation is simple but powerful and less layers between me and the system makes troubleshooting easier.
I'm also very focused on efficiency and try to optimize all my workflows (from development to cooking).
Broken electronics don't scare me and I'll always look inside something before throwing it away
I designed some super simple boards and can somewhat solder circuits. Wiring projects is annoying but fun, feels like knitting!
I'm learning about radios and transmitting in general, but I'm still moving my first steps.
I'd really love a lab/workshop to experiment and create, and am slowly working towards that.
I love forests and mountains, the sea is cool but hot and wet, I'll always pick a hike and camping over sunbathing and swimming.
I like exploring new places, be it in my city or while on a walk, I'm not shying away from "adventures"!
Visiting human sceneries is beautiful and acculturating, but nature sights are just breathtaking: no human craft can reach close to the world's complexity.
I love my bike, and try to go everywhere with it. Maybe someday even down hills? (:
I'm fascinated by the macroscopic and the microscopic, and I want to study more about it
I am deeply curious about things, and love learning about the world and universe that surrounds us.
I loved physics during high school and again during university, and I want to study more someday. Did you know that separating quarks takes so much energy you end up creating new ones in the process? :) (well kind of!)
I messed a little with IBM quantum computers (well, simulations of), and was blown away by non-binary computing (and also the complexity), I really want to dig deeper.
I'm always trying to learn something new, and I'll never be done!
