FUN FACTS
I learned BASIC and FoxPro during school holidays and quickly earned the nickname “programmer.” I built PCs, and I wired electrical control panels with my dad. I’m inspired by SpaceX and Tesla; I’m a battery‑EV enthusiast who’s even taken a car onto a racetrack. I take educated risks—including in the markets. Off work, I collect international films in a self‑built media center, and spend time camping, on nature trails, and traveling (once backpacked across Europe).
