Daniel Diniz’s README

Daniel Diniz - Support Engineer (EMEA)

Hey! My name is Daniel Diniz and this is the first interation on a personal README document.

The ‘goal’ of writing this document is simply writing in itself, and it’s pulibshed for anyone interested in a glimpse into who I am. A wise person once said:

Meditate to heal the mind.

Read to expand the mind.

Write to clarify the mind.

About me

I’m passionate about life itself. I love learning new things, preferably on a daily basis. I like it so much that if I would have to name one goal in life, it would be to become a full-time learner.

  • Whenever I’m not behind a computer, I try to find any excuse to be outdoors, living life dynamically in many different ways. I like 🌴 Slacklining, 🏄 Kitesurfing, 🐶 🏂 Dogsurfing, 🗻 Climbing. I’m an adept of the 🐒 Movement Culture.

  • I have many 🎵 musical instruments, and try to find time in between all other activities to explore musicality as much as I can.

  • My most recent passion is Carpentry 🔨; I really feel like human beings are meant to construct their own structures. I love setting out time to plan, design and build practical things, from chairs, tables and shelfs all the way to small houses and shelers.

  • Here are a couple of things I like doing every day:

    • Going for a walk 🏃
    • Writing 📙
    • Spending time alone in silence 💭
    • At least one deep, meaningful conversation with someone I love 💬
    • Some deep, focused work :godmode:
    • A good night’s sleep 💤

Personally

  • I currently live in the beautiful Netherlands, but I’m originally from Brazil.
  • I am a ‘sea’ person. I’m the happiest version of myself when on walking distance from a seashore.
  • Two of my best friends are actually not human. I spend dumb amounts of time with my two dogs, Kiss and Ravi:

Kiss and Ravi
