What to Expect Here?
This is neither a technical blog nor a portfolio. It is a space for free expression.
Here I mix technology with social issues, leadership with philosophy, and rationality with art. Do not expect a single theme or a rigid editorial line. The point is precisely the unlikely connection between it all.
This is a space for exploration and analysis, not for prescriptions.
Who Am I
I am Jonas Erik. Professionally, I work as an Engineering Leader, focused on strategy and people. Currently very interested in AI Engineering.
Personally, I am driven by curiosity.
I am an enthusiast of RPGs, narratives, and visual arts. I read everything. I have opinions on almost everything. I am not here to sell a method or represent an organization. I am here as an individual trying to organize thoughts into text.
The Content
I promise neither academic depth nor thematic consistency. What you will find is my singular perspective on whatever is capturing my attention at the moment.
Essays
Reflections on work culture, society, technology, and the intersections between them. No ready-made answers.
Why “Essays”? They are not articles — I have no pretension of being precise or academic. Nor posts — they are not social media updates. They are attempts to think out loud. The term comes from Montaigne, who in 1580 called his reflections Essais — literally, “attempts.” It seemed like the right name.
Alongside Montaigne, names like Francis Bacon, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Orwell, and more recently Paul Graham showed that the essay is the ideal space for personal reflections without pretension of absolute truth.
In the US, essay is so common that every student grows up writing them. In Brazil the term sounds unusual, but that is exactly what it is: an invitation to think together, without ready-made answers.
Library
Free connections between books, articles, philosophical concepts, and practical life. It could be an insight from a technical book or a reflection on a work of fiction.
Creativity
Narrative experiments, worldbuilding, and art. The playful and imaginative side that I consider vital.
If you think differently, great. This is an invitation to exchange ideas, not to agree.
