Why do I always seem lost in thought?

I have three personalities: a typical programmer lurking in his basement, an otaku of old, and a hardcore gamer. But each of them is an introvert and they are constantly fighting for supremacy. So my mind is pretty busy.

When was the first time you spent a night gaming?

How do I manage not to lose my sense of humor?

I would describe myself as an open and positive person who likes to make others laugh. I try to get the best out of every day and see negative things as challenges rather than as obstacles.

How do you manage to stay positive?

For me it is important to always look forward and not back. To be grateful for what I have and to go through life with an open mind. Through dialogue and a pinch of humor, you’ll always find a solution to every problem. When I’m angry about something, I ask myself if I’ll still be angry about it to the same degree in five years from now. If the answer is no, it’s not worth the trouble.

When did you realize you would make a career as a developer?

Since I was 9 years old I wanted to develop games so my father taught me how to write simple codes in MS-DOS.

What is your motto?

Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.
