I enjoy learning.

About

Human being on its quest to learn as much as possible and do good in the world.

Interested in Education, Macroeconomics, History, Organizational Forms, Distributed Systems, Mathematics, Systems Thinking, Category Theory, Learning and Programming Languages.

Currently learning how to make my life simpler with alles & Nix and practicing to type faster.

When I'm not at the Computer or deliberately learning something, you can find me on walks with nice people, doing sports, or at my favourite kids camp during the summer.
