I'm currently working at Secondmind, a Cambridge-based startup using machine learning to optimise decision-making in automotive engineering.

After hours, I work on various side projects, explore new technologies, and write about code. One of my recent projects is Albion Online Grind — a tool that helps players improve their economy in the popular sandbox MMORPG, Albion Online. I also founded Stealth Labs — a super professional and serious software development company.

I'm a passionate advocate of the "learning in public" movement and track my learning journey. I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge, and I'm not afraid to share my experiences (even the failures) with the world.
