Who am I?

• Broadly interested (but not expert) in many topics, from biochemistry to physics. Genuinly interested in passions of people.
• Interested in solving problems, first with a cheap and fast MVP, then properly.
• Action oriented; I take ownership of problems.
• Able to communicate with very technical people in their language, and able to do the same with non-technical people. This is something that I do automatically, and very much enojoy doing too.
• I aim to build high-trust relationships (building these takes time).
• I value working iteratively in a flexible ('agile') way, in reasonably flat organizations.
