My Interests

  • For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in technology. Today i'm also drawn to tech that makes a difference:

    • Blockchain technology fascinates me, the use of a distributed ledger together with cryptography that enables transparency, immutability and security - which I believe will solve some of the major issues today in the digital world when it comes to managing and securing data of all forms.
    • The use of artificial intelligence, especially for health and optimizing mundane human tasks. AI agents are very fascinating.
    • Blockchain together with smart contracts, to perform more error proof, immutable and public transactions.
    • Blind computing with multiple PETs (Privacy Enhancing Technologies) on private and sensitive data, especially while using AI.
    • Thinking of new software ideas, iterating on them and actually building them. Open sourced on my GitHub profile.
  • I'm also interested in other things, like:
    • Physical fitness and working out.
    • Reading and learning new things through books and podcasts.
    • Investing in different markets and learning about the human psychology connected to it.
    • Optimizing my time - this by being clear in my communication, having short meetings with focus on quality and respect.
    • Music and movies with a deeper meaning or story.
