LIFE AND CAREER

10/19/20242 min read

Hi everyone! In this first post of the "Life and Career" series, I’d like to give you a brief introduction to myself, Alberto, who I am, what I'm passionate about, what I do in my free time, and my motivations and feelings regarding work. I’ll also share some thoughts that often cross my mind.

Now, I understand that for some of you, this might seem like oversharing, as if I’m putting too much of my personal life out there. But that’s not the case, or at least not entirely. I won’t be completely transparent about everything in my life—there are limits, after all. Besides, most of that wouldn’t be relevant to this blog or to topics like Supply Chain and the software we use in the field.

However, I will talk about a few things that matter to me: my career choices, my thoughts on investments and savings, the work environment, and even the academic side of my life. I still occasionally collaborate with my former university professors on research projects and publications (by the way, I’ve got a new one coming out soon, and I’ll share some informal insights about it here on the blog!).

This series isn’t just for the curious or for those seeking inspiration for their own career or study paths. It’s also a tool for me—a way to put my thoughts down on “paper,” organize them, take a breath, and reflect on them, one by one. It helps me avoid the mental clutter that can build up when thoughts remain scattered
TIP: Writing things down when you're feeling confused is something that’s often underestimated. Putting your thoughts on paper can really help you visualize and focus on them better. It might even lead you to a solution or conclusion as you write

I know this might not be the most exciting section of the blog for visitors to MosaicMotion, especially for those passionate about Supply Chain or Excel enthusiasts. But this series could serve as a way to create a deeper connection between me and the reader. It’s like having a conversation that doesn’t end, one that picks up again with each new post. Think of it like bumping into a childhood friend on the street once or twice a year, having a chat, and catching up on what’s happened recently (even though "recently" might mean over six months!).
