# Work

I joined [Elastic](https://elastic.co) mid-pandemic in 2020 as a Senior Engineering Manager - changing
job during the pandemic felt weird and was emotionally challenging but there isn't any other place
I'd like to be during these funky times; I can work from home, fully supported in taking care of the
family (myself included) whenever I need to.
I joined [deepset](https://deepset.ai) mid 2022 as the Team Lead for Open Source Engineering. It's an early stage startup,
a challenge that's also an immense learning resource (and something that was sitting on my professional TODO list :). The
culture is great and they're good and talented people working on disruptive technology. Wearing multiple hats, I have the
chance to revamp my coding skills, keep growing as a manager and learning a lot about product management. And 100% Open Source.

# Life

Random stuff that's going on:

- After being on a diet during the whole winter and spring 2020/2021, I touched my lowest weight in May 2021.
These days I'm not following any strict regimen, I'm more into "good habits" when it comes to food. I
took back about 3 kilograms but staying on this weight is effortless at this point.
- I'm still teaching myself basic financial education, I should've done this 25 years ago but I like
thinking it's never too late to start doing the right thing.
- I keep practicing guitar, my gear consists of a [Seagull S60][seagull s60] acoustic guitar and an
- Quoting myself from the last update: "I'm not following any strict regimen, I'm more into "good habits" when it comes to food".
...aaaaand I peaked at 108 and had to go back on a diet, yay!
- I'm building a house! (I mean, I'm paying professionals to do that, but it's built on my specs!)
- I keep practicing guitar and studying music, my gear consists of a [Seagull S60][seagull s60] acoustic guitar and an
[Acus One Forstrings 5T][acus one] amplifier. I recently acquired a travel guitar, a
[Crafter Mino][crafter mino] and it's unbelievable how much more I'm playing it compared to the S60. I
think the fact that's smaller and lighter (along with a great sound and volume) makes super easy to pick
it up whenever I have a second to sit down.
- I keep adding notes to my Zettelkasten and I finally used to [write something!](https://dev.pippi.im/writing/sourcing-360-degree-feedback/)
