🧬 The technology already exists within us

Homo sapiens has always been dedicated to creating. We have connected continents with electrical communications, we have created machinery that applies force, we have filtered water for our consumption... and much more.

What's fascinating is that everything our species has created externally already exists within us. Our biology has designed ultra-complex systems without "thinking."

Intercontinental communication → nervous system: signals that travel from head to toe in milliseconds.

Machinery that applies force → our muscles and their coordination.

Water filtration → our kidneys, which clean the blood and introduce hormones.

And these are just three examples. There's so much more.

There’s so much more. I found a path: to cure with my hands while creating with my mind, transforming imagination into tangible impact.

🌍 Stability is Mobility: Home as a Practice 

Having lived across five countries, I’ve learned that “home is a practice, not a place”. In this constant movement, my “stability became our mobility”. I am a “knowmad” who has learned to navigate the world through presence and silence, choosing to become present in the face of the unfamiliar rather than fighting it.

🎨 The Philosophy of “Staying Genius” 

I view my life as an elongation of childhood — bursting with the uninhibited creativity and fearless adaptation that we often lose as we “mature”. My approach to medicine is built on the belief that “conceptual separation isn’t natural — it’s a limitation of imagination”. By coupling neuroengineering with sociology: the brain’s mechanics with the mind’s empathy, I seek the “unlikely connections” that solve human problems.

I learned from Duncan Wardle and Tom Kelly, creativity experts, that knowing about many topics makes you more creative in your specialty. That’s why I don’t limit myself to a single approach. Knowing what a protein does in the body can help me understand how a wound heals, and that can lead me to a minimally invasive surgery technique. The more improbable the connection, the more creativity — and more solutions. For me, this isn’t permission to stay young; it is the development of staying genius.

📐 Precision in the Millimeters 

My joy lives in millimeters. This “millimetric thinking” now guides my hands in the OR. I’ve found that “joy lives in millimeters, but community lives in what those millimeters commemorate”. Whether I am suturing a banana peel or sculpting a sand heart with a twig, I am driven by the patience for tiny adjustments and the satisfaction of making small things work beautifully.

That feeling crystallized when I first held a precision surgical device. I loved the level of detail and technique needed to carry out delicate actions — how each movement existed somewhere between intention and instinct. In that moment, I understood that precision isn’t just a technical skill. It’s a form of care.

🔎 A Discipline of Attention

Through Circlo Podcast, I am learning how to understand people — and, in doing so, understand myself. What began as curiosity has become a discipline of attention: listening long enough to move past the surface, asking questions that reveal how someone thinks, who they have become, and why. Each conversation trains me to be more present, more precise with words, and more patient with silence. It is my way of practicing authentic connection in a world that often rewards speed over depth.

The podcast is also where I test my vision against reality. By seeing myself through the lens of others — their stories, decisions, and mental models — I refine my own. It has become an education in human nature that no classroom could replicate, shaping how I approach medicine, engineering, and leadership: not as technical pursuits alone, but as human ones.

Through Circlo, I am not only recording conversations — I am recording the process of becoming.

⚙️ The Human Impacting Engineer

 I believe in Human Impacting Engineering. I’ve watched the medical world advance technically while losing its emotional presence — where “the doctor looks at the screen before the patient”. My mission is to bridge this gap. And spread it to where it is most needed on this planet. I am a firm believer that “the surgeon’s hand, like the artist’s, finds genius not in abundance, but in scarcity”.

My curiosity is dedicated to solving the challenges of underserved populations. I don’t seek to create merely “costly machines”; I want to design frugal innovations where “constraint isn’t limitation — it’s specification”.

🔄 The Circle of Care 

My work is fueled by a “circle of care” — I am supported by my family to help other people. I’ve learned that in the face of pain, humor is an instinctive tool for healing — a human skill.

✨ What I Keep Searching For 

When I learn something truly new and fascinating, I’m amazed. I’m left surprised. I enjoy and actively seek that feeling — the moment something shifts from inexplicable to understood. And I know I’ll keep finding it. In medicine, there will always be something new, something we’ve achieved as a species that I want to understand better. That wonder isn’t a phase. It’s the engine.
