Scientist and Engineer, living somewhere in the middle between them. Love learning and trying new things. Turned vegetarian in June 2024, which improved my wellbeing.
Languages
My native languages are 🇪🇸Spanish and Galician. Then learnt 🇬🇧English as everyone does worldwide. Also learnt a good amount of 🇯🇵Japanese during my late teens, early 20s. Currently trying to learn some 🇰🇷Korean. Being a plurilingual person can be strange sometimes.
Likes
I have played videogames since I was but a child, and I do not plan to stop. However, it is true that I have less time to do it. The genre I play the most are JRPG. Some notable mentions: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Trails/Kiseki series.
Music is a passion of mine as well. I (badly) play guitar and love rock and metal music, in particular progressive and lots of projects coming from Japan. But I tend to listen to other genres depending on my mood. Some people might consider me a Laurant, since I love Sound Horizon, ans I think Revo, the composer, is one of the greatest artistic genious of our generation. Other bands I love in no order: Galneryus, Camellia, Azure, Nanatsukaze, Wintersun, Ne Obliviscaris, Lorna Shore, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence, AliA, Valhalore, DECO*27, Unlucky Morpheus, Versailles…
Avid fantasy reader, although I am attempting to branch out a bit. Really enjoying Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe.
Tools I use
Work
- Python: Programming language that helped me fall in love with coding during my PhD. Great for experimental work and science. Lots of libraries for any possible usecase.
- neovim: the best text editor I have found so far. My current setuo can be found in this repo
- Note-taking inside neovim with markdown-oxide
- nix: packaging supertool and language for reproducible packaging and, more importantly for me, development environments. It is a passion of me right now as well.
- Zotero: managing references. I don’t use it nearly enough, should change that.
- Jupyter Notebook/Jupyterlab: Interactive programming is important for explorative thinking, and is part of my workflow. I tried to replace them with Neovim + REPL but it does not work as well
Personal
- Obsidian: Although I use neovim for note taking in a computer, I also write in my phone using obsidian.
- Git Syn: Android app to manage sync with git
- Quartz: The project this page is built on
- Rust: Really love many things about Rust, it’s a language I would like to learn better.
- Nebo: Incredible handwriting tool for Android (and apparently iOS and Windows as well. Where is Linux support!). So far the best one, liked it so much I even paid for it. Use it on my Samsung Tablet S10.
