Hi, I'm Andre Pena.
Strong opinions, loosely held.
This is my personal website. With the changes in my life I've decided to try out one of these fancy HTML5 based templates. Shoutouts to HTML5 UP.
I'm taking a career break, and currently preparing to move to Tokyo to study Japanese for a while before figuring out what's next.
Once a month, I host Midnight Madness on my Twitch account. Usually on the last Saturday of each month, but sometimes I need to reschedule. I'll announce on my socials (Twitter, Discord, BlueSky) if it's cancelled or moved.
I enjoy finding and drinking coffee, traveling and other small joys that I can find in this world.
Currently taking a career break, but you can find out about my professional career here.
Previously I worked at Groq for 7.5 years and at Apple for 10.5 years. When I was a manager I tried to be the leader who enabled his team to accomplish great things, while being a human being. Look up what Brene Brown said about vulnerability and courage if you want more specifics.
A link to my previous website, in the old style, just in case I decide I don't like this version
Yes, it was a very simplistic website. I still like simple. Maybe I shall return to it some day.
