a bit about me

I'm a software developer and master's student. I like the moment when a fuzzy problem finally starts to make sense.

Friends often ask me to explain things. That works out well because explaining something shows me what I still do not understand.

I change my mind when I learn something new. I also start plenty of small projects that go nowhere. I do not mind either.

When I'm away from the laptop, I like to travel, hike, and spend time outside. I may write about some of those trips here eventually.

Open Web Sandbox · NEAR ecosystem

I researched decentralized systems and operational security, then wrote explainers about them.

how i work

I ask a lot of questions before I start building.

I prefer a small solution that works over a clever one that is hard to maintain.

If I do not know something, I say so and go learn it.

Direct feedback is always welcome.

that's probably enough about me.
