Hobbies
I believe its important to know the person not just the employee, so with that in mind im a person that loves water, not only was i born next to the coast but i also spent 3 years in the portuguese navies special forces unit, hence surfing or SCUBA diving, im in. I also enjoy mountaineering even though its a difficult activity to practice in Portugal so my crowning achievement for now is climbing triglav the tallest mountain in slovenia. Lastly i enjoy pushing myself not only mentally but also physically i enjoy martial arts such as jiu jitsu and muai thay, i have had 2 muai thay fights so far and my record is 2-0. In my downtime i also enjoy playing video games, painting warhammer figurines and home labbing, i currently have my own cloud server and smart appliances, the cloud server does rack up the electricity bill however.
