What do I do?

Personal Mantra

Invoke the builder within and serve

What does this mean?

Besides being a creative (building stuff and tinkering) I choose to go beyond self, and work on impacting others. More specifically work-wise, I thrive as an enabler, inventor, and galvanizer (based on the 6 Working geniuses by Patrick Lencioniopen in new window* )

This mantra reminds me of this identity; calling me to action!

Building & Serving

  • Software engineering
  • Teaching (wholesomely breaking barriers, real or imagined!) - technical writing is an expression of this
  • Leading - Taking up Leadership opportunities
  • DIY - Do It Yourself projects
  • Mentoring
  • ... the list continues (It's a lifelong journey)
