Axel Valdez Design Engineer

Hi

I'm Axel. I'm 48, and starting to deal with the idea of being 50. I have two kids, 15 and 9. And there I'm dealing with the fact that the young will stop being a kid very soon, and I don't know how ready I am.

My goal for this year is to fully embrace disconfort.

On a lighter note, I love to cook, bake (breads and pastries), read and watch TV. I believe the secret to enjoying something is not becoming an expert in that something, and still I nerd obsessively about everything I like.

I work as a UI Engineering Manager, and from time to time I do front-end code and design.
