Emanuele Capparelli
(a random recollection of life events)
β I survived 34 years (and counting).
π€ I was born in Rome, Italy.
π but I moved to Germany, U.S.A., Russia, France, Austria, Thailand, Namibia for a while, and currently based in Portugal.
π΅οΈ I have good friends from every continent. But some of them don't trust me because I worked for Americans in Russia.
π They say I don't have an accent (I do).
π» What I do
π° I develop software companies for a living, currently working on Tailor, pushing AI to automate your boring tasks, so you can spend time creating art (you're welcome).
π§βπ I studied Space Engineering, and worked to bring people to Mars and other distant places around the Sun.
π I am not anymore, but I still watch rocket launch failure compilations from time to time.
π I got an MBA and I am now getting a bachelor of Philosophy, because why not?
πΊοΈ Travel Stories Adventures
π I have visited 200+ Earth regions so far (check the cool map here).
ποΈ My friends know me for my absurd travel stories, like hiking a mountain in Kashmir under a hailstorm, while hallucinating due to malaria pills.
π€Ώ Or scuba diving in the Red Sea, only to get decompression sickness and drive a car into a sand dune in the Jordanian desert.
πΌ Or losing my passport in the middle of China and spending more than a month getting out of there.
π² Or climbing the side of the Chinese Great Wall with no equipment, Tomb Raider style.
ποΈ Or backpacking to Iran to sleep under the stars in the hottest desert in the world, the Dash-e-Lut.
ποΈ Or having a motorbike accident in the jungle of Vietnam, having to drive myself back to the hospital at night for 60 kms on a highway full of trucks, people and chicken.
π¦ Or visiting a warzone in Congo DRC to sight some majestic Grauer's gorillas and chimpanzees.
π£ Unfortunately, this means I have a very bad carbon footprint.
π€ Stuff I like
ποΈ I track every movie I watched.
π¦ I read tons of comic books (DC, Vertigo, Image, Dark Horse, but never Marvel, never).
πΈ And am trying to read every Hugo winner.
ποΈ I like to sing, and I write songs. Sometimes, I record them. (I published a couple of albums)
π§ I also listen to other peoples' music.
π I am obsessed with Orientalism and can talk about medieval Islam for an uncomfortable amount of time.
