I’m a software engineer by day and a technology explorer by night.
I have been passionate about data visualization from an early age and started my first company, Wondergraphs, while attending university to make it easier to analyze and visualize data. After Wondergraphs, I co-founded Datylon, also a data visualization focused company. In the early days, we focused on data visualization projects and built a custom plugin for Adobe Illustrator to enable designers to easily create complex data visualizations that could be automated.
After some years, I left Datylon and focused on developing a new version of the Ticketmatic platform. These were exciting times, and I still remember the thrill of seeing thousands of people buying tickets and seeing the servers happily humming along. After a while, I shifted to the operational side and became responsible for all customers.
That experience revealed how much I enjoy the operational challenge of managing software and ensuring everything runs smoothly. My years of experience allow me to do this very efficiently, and that’s what I have been doing in recent years, sometimes part-time, sometimes full-time.
This independence enables me to explore other interests which range from bikepacking to 3D printing, lasercutting, woodworking and recently LLMs. Sometimes I write about these topics or share side projects here.
