View CredentialLife is about balance. Here's what keeps me grounded and inspired outside of work
I’ve been playing soccer for over 20 years. There’s nothing like the feeling of running the field, kicking a ball, and just enjoying the game the way I did as a kid.
I'm currently focusing on boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu while also weightlifting. I enjoy sports in general and it just makes me happy to get out there, sweat, move around, and build a community with like minded people.
Science fiction, true crime, and poetry are my go-to genres. Currently reading 'How I came to Know Fish - Ota Pavel'.
I've spent the last few years traveling as a digital nomad and budget explorer. Meeting people from all walks of life has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the challenges and stories shaping different communities.
First-person shooter games are my favorite. I grew up playing Counter Strike in a lan house near my school in Brazil and since then I haven't let go of it.
I live for poetry and spoken word. Sometimes goofy, but always heartfelt. It's a powerful way to express challenges, dreams, and the human experience.
I'm always interested in discussing machine learning projects, collaboration opportunities, or how we can use data to make a positive impact.
