1. What do you like most about your job?

I always enjoy learning new things and how we often learn them as a result of teamwork or collaboration.

2. What would you like to spend more time doing?

Everything that I do! There’s never enough time. To be more concrete, maybe doing sports.

3. What do you feel proudest of?

Everything and nothing in particular. Maybe it sounds typical, but I would say I’m proudest of my family. Being a father of two girls is one of the things that makes me happiest.

4. What value do you appreciate most in people?

A sense of humour and optimism. People who keep a smile all day long are admirable.

5. Where’s a place you’d like to visit?

Any place where there aren’t too many people or too much traffic, possibly in the mountains. A nice forest or a cool stream always refresh the body and mind.

6. What’s a dream you’d like to pursue?

Hmm, this one’s tough! Being able to see the Capgrossos of Mataró perform a 10-level human castle – and even better if I can participate!

7. What do you have left to learn?

Obviously, everything I don’t know… which is plenty! In terms of work, it couldn’t hurt me to learn a little more about statistics and R programming.
