At the intersection of mind and tech. Now graduated from a Master’s program in Brain and Cognition at UPF Barcelona.
Learner. I learned from videogames that self-improvement is a meta-skill to be applied in all areas of life, that life is a game.
Neuro. I’m dedicated to defining and solving real problems. Fascinated by EEG.
Writer. I write essays and poems to expand thoughts and feelings on complex topics.
