About

I'm a biosystems engineer turned software developer, currently building AI systems to solve real-world problems as the founder of Workspring.

Years of living abroad taught me to approach every situation with a beginner's mind: staying open, curious, and ready to learn.

In my spare time you can find me rock climbing, catching live music, or diving into a new book.
