Hobbies & Passions
Software is just one dimension. Outside the terminal, life is lived at full speed — sometimes literally.
With over ten thousand jumps logged, skydiving isn't a hobby — it's a way of life. From formation flying to freefall photography, the sky has been Fred's second home for decades.
Training since age five. Martial arts provided the discipline, focus, and mental resilience that became the foundation for everything else — in code and in life.
A lifelong practice, not just a phase
On two wheels since age four. Today, riding is a shared passion — Fred and his wife hit the road together, turning every weekend into an opportunity to explore.

From CNC machining to building a tiny house by hand, woodworking satisfies the same creative instinct as writing code — taking raw materials and shaping them into something functional and beautiful.
A collection of hundreds of watches, each one a marvel of mechanical engineering. Horology is the intersection of art, science, and history — not unlike the best software systems.
Behind the decks since age fourteen. Running Denon hardware with Serato software, Fred brings the same technical precision to mixing beats as he does to building systems. Music is mathematics made audible.

Guitar and drums — the analog side of a deeply digital life. Playing music is the ultimate form of creative expression, no compiler required.
Whether it's software, a tiny house, a DJ set, or a watch collection — the thread that connects every passion is the same: understanding how things work, then making them better.
