Some of my interests:

I deleted most of my social media accounts to have a more quiet digital life. You can reach me through my email. I try to respond to all emails within 10 days (normally faster than that), except for spam or sales emails.
About This Site
This site is built with Astro.js and was created using “vibe coding” — 99% of the code was written by AI. To stop procrastinating and move fast, I took heavy design inspiration from stephango.com, the blog of Obsidian’s CEO. I plan to evolve the design into something more unique when I have time.
