Outside of Work

Fitness

I train 5–6 days a week and take it seriously. I focus on staying lean year-round while building strength. I'm more interested in long-term consistency than extremes.

Sports

I follow sports pretty closely, especially FC Barcelona in football, the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. I enjoy thinking about team structure, player roles, and long-term roster building, especially in football.

Travel

I've spent time traveling across Spain, Portugal, England, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Egypt. I'm interested in how people actually live in different places, not just the tourist side.

Music + Night Walks

I like going on night walks with music. It's one of the main ways I reset and think clearly.

Building

A lot of my free time goes into building or thinking about products. I'm usually working on something, improving something I've already built, or thinking through new ideas. I've also experimented with building bots and systems around prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, identifying inefficiencies, automating decision-making, and integrating real-time data into strategies.

Books

I tend to gravitate toward dystopian fiction, especially stories about control, systems, and how societies evolve.

TV Shows

I like shows with strategy, complex characters, and systems that fall apart.

Movies

I tend to like things that involve ambition, technology, or people operating at an extreme level.
