Welcome to my Twisted Mind Professional Website

Since 2019, I've been working on adding marketing and entrepreneurship skills to my software engineering background, with the goal to build sustainable projects and communities that will make the web a better place. You can learn more about the projects I built since then in the Projects section, and find out how to support my work on the Support Me page.

The story so far

  • Got gifted my first computer and internet connection. Learned HTML (and Photoshop!) by building a Neon Genesis Evangelion shrine.

  • Repetedly skipped highschool to hole up in my room and code my "fujoshi shit". Learned to use databases and PHP.

  • After graduating as valedictorian of my Computer Science class, I emigrated from Europe 🇪🇺 to Silicon Valley 🇺🇸 to work for a very large, very famous corporation.

  • "Got radicalized by the Tumblr porn ban". Or, in better words, realized the internet was getting really, really sucky and decided I should help do something about it.

  • After giving up "change from the inside", I abandoned my cozy online anonymity (and paid job) to figure out how to tackle the problem from within the web itself.

  • After taking classes in marketing and business, I launched a series of projects centered around fandom, tech education, and online communities. Still trying to make a living with them.
