About

This is my personal landing page. I will use this as an organizer of sorts.

Who am I?

My name is Miguel and I am from Portugal. I like to think of myself as a conscientious, empathic, kind, compassionate and environmentally conscious person. I am of the opinion that the best attributes any person can have, regardless of everything else, are kindness, compassion and empathy. I try to foster those in both myself and others.

Academia

• BsC in Physics;
• MSc in Applied Physics;

Interests

I am passionate about many things, such as Linux/FLOSS, coding, reading, running, music, gym, minimalism, chess, nature, friendships, deep conversations, enlightenment, altered states of consciousness, and all things science. I’m also fascinated by difficult ideas and difficult problems.

Beyond individual interests, I’m deeply aligned with broader movements and philosophies that shape my worldview:

• Solarpunk: I embrace a vision of a sustainable, green, and technologically-forward future that solves contemporary challenges through innovation and creativity.
• Hacker Ethos: I believe in the importance of freedom, open access to information, and the transformative power of technology to build a better world.

Contact me

While I do enjoy interacting with others, I’m not active on any online social networks. You won’t find me there. There are better ways to truly connect and share ideas though. You can reach out if you want. My main form of online communication is probably Signal.

You can contact me on “hi [at] miguelmf.com” and, if need be, we can then exchange other forms of contact.
