About me

Motto

Doesn't matter right or wrong

As long as it's not stupid

Applied mathematician. The teams I work with have operational proprioception and no firefighting: my fault.

Statistics to find bottlenecks, operations research to eliminate them, coding to automate the rest.

Mathematics to rule them all.

Basics about me

Computer Science in high school: I wanted to learn how Minecraft was programmed and build my own mods.

Bachelor's in Mathematics: after a stint as a programmer, I realized coding for a living wasn't for me.

Master's in Mathematics (Mathematics and Statistics for Life and Social Sciences, Modelling and Simulation for Biomedical Applications): pure math was too abstract on its own, so I looked for a way to apply it to healthcare and actually contribute to medicine.

Self-employment: academia rewards publications, not real-world traction. Self-employment became the only way to move fast and solve real problems.


My interests

Personal Knowledge Management (PKM): making knowledge retrievable and usable over time and space. I use Obsidian, where I’ve built a vault of over 5.000 notes.

Functional bodybuilding: optimizing physical performance across strength, longevity, and mobility.


How I work

Technical translator: I translate business goals into process analysis, and into the actions needed to reach them.

Problem lover: give me problems and I will solve them. Give me a to-do list to implement, and you'll make me unhappy. More in Projects.

Uncompromising: I don't compromise on quality, ideals, or professional ethics. More in Failure résumé.


When I want to work with you

The project is a real opportunity to learn, and to apply what I've learned.
