Two things shaped my childhood: books and computers.
Books opened my mind. Computers taught me logic. I eventually became a Software Engineer. For years, I thought technology was the most important thing in my life.
Then I became a father of two toddlers.
Everything changed.
I started asking questions I'd never asked before. What will my children face in a world full of AI—and robots? How do they stay human in a world run by machines? And what about me—how do I build a career that endures and matters?
I became my own experiment. My own guinea pig.
Whatever I learn—what works and what fails—I hope will guide my kids.
From there, The Pi Human was born. A way to stay human in a fast-changing world. It's about building things machines can't replicate: patience, depth, presence, full awareness, and real relationships.
The Pi Human is not just an idea or a framework. It's something I try to improve and practice every day.
One day, my wife gave me her orchid to care for. I'm a software engineer—I understand computers, not plants. I had to start from zero. Observe it. Learn its rhythm. Wait for it to bloom—while collecting dry leaves.
That orchid taught me something.
I also revived our small reading space. Filled it with books. A place to slow down and think.
These simple things—caring for orchids, composting leaves, reading books, and doing it all with my two kids—became my practice.
They all taught me something important. From simplicity. From focusing on what truly matters.
I'm now writing The Pi Human Journey series. Book One is titled From 0 to Pi: Skillset Design for a Career That Endures and Matters.
Oh, if you're also wondering how to stay grounded when AI is everywhere, let's chat. Or if you want to discuss human-centered technology, books, or starting your own analog practice—I'd love to connect with you.
