Trying to tread lightly

Once I understood more about my impact on the planet, I started changing the parts of my life I could control. I became vegetarian at 23, traded my car for a bicycle, and now use public transport or my own legs whenever it makes sense.

Technology has a footprint too. I try to choose simpler solutions, keep products useful for longer, and work on ideas that help people make better choices.

People first

I struggled with social anxiety for years and eventually found my way through it. That experience made me more patient with people and more willing to help when I can.

I think most people want to do the right thing, even when stress or fear gets in the way. Thoughtful technology can make life a little easier and help people feel less alone.

Too much software is designed to keep us scrolling by ourselves. I would rather build things that bring people closer or give them time back.

Practical, not perfect

I like ambitious ideas, but they still have to work in the real world. A product needs users, and a company needs enough money to keep going.

That does not mean growth should come at any cost. I want to work with people whose goals I respect and make decisions I can explain honestly.

I use imperfect tools, including AI, when they help me do useful work. I try to understand the tradeoff and choose deliberately instead of chasing every new thing.
