01. About Myself


Quick life recap

A brief introduction not written by ChatGPT

Computers have fascinated me since I was a child, which is why I chose a career in Computer Science. Beyond academics I explore philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, adding humanistic insight to my STEM background.

In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, and walking in the woods with my dog, William. I also tinker in my home lab, building Home Assistant automations and occasionally messing up my Docker installation.
