Who I Am
I'm Manuel Pastor Ringuelet, a multifaceted individual with a passion for web development, fitness, and continuous learning. Based in Leipzig, Germany, I've cultivated a diverse set of skills and experiences that shape who I am today. My journey has been one of constant growth, exploration, and embracing new challenges.
Web Development Journey
My path into web development began with a curiosity for creating digital experiences. What started as a hobby has evolved into a professional pursuit and a core part of my identity. I've immersed myself in various programming languages and frameworks, tackling projects that range from personal websites to complex web applications.
Currently, I'm working on an exciting startup called BRbase, where we're developing innovative software for work councils. This experience has allowed me to apply my skills in a real-world context and contribute to meaningful solutions.

Fitness and Wellness Journey
Fitness has been a cornerstone of my life for many years. I've completed extensive courses in sports nutrition and training planning, immersing myself in the science of physical wellness. My knowledge comes not just from formal education, but also from voraciously consuming books, podcasts, and exploring various training methods and disciplines.
This journey has been deeply personal, intertwining with my own fitness struggles and triumphs. These experiences, combined with my academic knowledge, led me to work as a freelance trainer, where I've had the privilege of helping others achieve their fitness goals.
Currently, my fitness focus has evolved to include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, powerlifting, and calisthenics. I've also incorporated a weekly yoga practice into my routine for balance and flexibility. While I'm no longer working as a trainer, I still occasionally help others with their fitness journeys, both in person and online.
Creative Expression Through Modeling
Modeling has been an unexpected but rewarding avenue for creative expression in my life. What started as a fun exploration has occasionally turned into paid work, allowing me to experience the world of fashion and photography from a unique perspective.
This experience has taught me a lot about self-presentation, body awareness, and the art of visual storytelling. You can view my modeling portfolio at Katabama Model Agency.
Personal Life and Relationships
I'm in a loving polyamorous relationship with two incredible women, each with their own fascinating careers and passions. My wife Maradoca is a talented melodic house and techno DJ, bringing joy and energy to dance floors. You can experience her music at maradoca.com.
My wife Mandy is a true renaissance woman - a scientist, Zumba instructor, yoga trainer, coach, and health consultant. Her holistic approach to wellness and personal growth is inspiring. Learn more about her work at changeandcreate.de. She also hosts an insightful podcast on health, mindfulness, and personal development.
These relationships have enriched my life immensely, teaching me about communication, support, and the beauty of embracing diverse passions and lifestyles. I actively support both of their careers, often attending Maradoca's DJ gigs and assisting Mandy with her health and personal development initiatives.
Lifelong Learning and Growth
At my core, I'm a lifelong learner. Whether it's diving into a new programming language, exploring a new fitness discipline, or taking on creative challenges, I'm always seeking to expand my horizons and push my boundaries.
Recently, I've embarked on a new adventure in creativity by taking singing lessons. This completely new venture has been an exciting way to discover my voice and push myself out of my comfort zone.
My curiosity extends to my writing practice, where I reflect on my experiences and insights. I'm committed to maintaining a regular writing schedule on my blog, where you can read my latest thoughts and reflections on various aspects of life and personal growth.
