Interests

I'm a curious person, thus my interests are many, however if I should mention a few:

Speedy diaper changes, singing graceful lullabies, preparing gourmet porridge, the art of pushing a swing and my wonderful children.

While being a fully engaged dad and family man, I'm also a former and prospective adventure race participant with a passion for all its components such as trail running, orienteering, MTB, climbing, kayaking and teamwork.

I also have an affinity for geeky projects, and I love exploring the latest advancements within the area of Data Science.

My interest also spans a curiosity for tomorrow's world, both within tech, the financial markets, science and the coming season of Premier League.
