How I spend
my free time

Sport, movement, mountain trails, and strategy around the table. The activities that keep me sharp, grounded, and always curious about the world beyond the screen.

Sport & Movement

Staying active

Two disciplines that keep the mind and body in sync.

Badminton
A regular fixture in my weekly routine. Badminton is fast, technical, and deeply competitive — you're constantly reading your opponent and making split-second decisions. The same mindset I bring to engineering challenges. Playing regularly keeps reflexes sharp and the competitive edge alive.

Training
Calisthenics
Bodyweight training built on progressive overload, control, and patience. Calisthenics teaches you to master your own body before adding external load — a humbling and rewarding discipline. No equipment needed, just discipline and time. The gains are slow, honest, and deeply satisfying.

Drone Piloting

Up in the air

Certified and flying — a passion that connects spatial thinking with the sky.

Licensed Drone Pilot
EU A1/A3 Open Category Certification
Holding an EU Open Category A1/A3 drone pilot certification, I fly for the love of aerial perspective — capturing landscapes, architecture, and the hidden geometry of the built environment from above. It's a natural extension of working with 3D spatial data every day: seeing the world as a model, just from a different vantage point.

Aerial photography and videography feed directly into my spatial storytelling instincts, and the technical precision required for safe drone operation keeps the engineering mindset active even when I'm off the clock.

Adventures

Out in the open

Switzerland is a playground — on foot and on two wheels.

Hiking
Living in Switzerland means world-class trails are never far away. Hiking here is less a hobby and more a way of life — the mountains have a way of resetting perspective after a week of screen work. From leisurely ridge walks to demanding Alpine ascents, each trail offers something different.

Motorbiking
There's a certain freedom to riding that nothing else quite matches — full presence, no distractions, just the road and the machine. Switzerland's mountain passes and winding valley roads make it one of the best places in the world to ride. Every corner demands focus and rewards skill.

Strategy & Games

Around the table

Board games as a lens for systems thinking, planning, and having a great time.

🎲
Board Games
Strategy · Engine Building · Social Deduction
Board games scratch a very particular itch — the satisfaction of a well-executed plan, the tension of incomplete information, and the social dynamics that emerge when smart people sit around a table together. I'm drawn to games that reward strategic depth: resource management, long-term planning, and reading the room.

The same instincts that make a good engineer — pattern recognition, optimisation under constraints, thinking several steps ahead — translate surprisingly well to a game of Terraforming Mars or Wingspan. It's analytical thinking with a much more enjoyable feedback loop.
