I like everything from hairy backends to cognitive neuroscience. Been part of this weird world of professional software engineering for a while.
I remember an interesting defining moment in 2013 in Munich where working as a GSoC intern at Tor, I overheard a conversation where a person from Syria was sharing how they rely on certain software to make sure they're not persecuted by their government which actively oppresses activists. They were like, "yeah and you could improve usability in this place, that would be great, but otherwise yeah, appreciate being alive, you know."
Tech-wise, I like both low-level security-focused engineering as well as HoTT. I guess I can thank my background in Computer Science and Philosophy for my pretentious eclectic tastes. To paraphrase my personal hero Moxie Marlinspike, I'm both fascinated and scared by technology and what it can do.
I currently lead software architecture at [ZealiD](https://www.zealid.com/en/) where, originally, I work as a Software Architect.
