Profile

With experience spanning Frankfurt, Sydney and Shenzhen, and now based in Aalborg, Denmark, I am a technically-minded person interested in understanding the complexities our modern society faces and finding ways to ameliorate our lives.

I am currently looking for a position in or around Aalborg, Denmark, where I will be able to contribute as part of a team to explore and investigate patterns made visible by data or to devise, and improve on, technical solutions.
