Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm Samanta, nice to meet you!
About me
I post stuff
I grew up in Barcelona, Spain. After finishing ESO (high school), my family and I spent two years living abroad — the first year in Granada and the second travelling across Asia. At 18, I started studying programming at 42 Berlin, where I spent two years learning software development.

I’ve always loved math, physics, and local thinking. With half my family working in tech and my parents running their own company, studying programming felt natural. Recently though, I’ve also been interested in exploring different directions and experiences. This year (2025/2026) I obtained my ski instructor certification (BASI Level 1 and Level 2).

Sports have always been a big part of my life. I started playing water polo when I was 12 and later tried many others. I've played volleyball, ice hockey, did a year of figure skating, got reaaally into CrossFit in Thailand, windsurf, bouldering and more.
I've also discovered that I enjoy writing. Recently, I published a book called “Fighting Hot Dogs”, which explores mental health topics through four short stories, each followed by a brief reflection. I'm particularly interested in understanding how the brain works and how our minds process "reality".

Because of that curiosity, I completed a 6-week course on the foundations of neuroscience in 2026, and I hope to keep learning more in this field.

My goal is to better understand these processes and, hopefully, be able to help people who need someone to truly understand and listen to them, rather than someone who simply wants to “fix” them.

If you'd like to know more about the book, you can visit the “Fighting Hot Dogs” page in the menu or click here.

Enough about me. Feel free to browse, borrow and reach out. My contacts are below :D
