What I'm Doing Now

This is my now page (new tab) following the example of Derek Sivers (new tab).
I regularly update it to reflect what I'm currently focusing on.

Work

As of December, I started a new position as a senior product engineer at Ketryx (new tab), helping medical device developers build better products faster.
Additionally, I founded a new startup aiming to help companies manage, generate and automate their documents. Besides that, I help people realign their work and life via this page and my YouTube channel (new tab).

Education

I'm currently enrolled in practical philosophy marking the fifth module of my bachelor in cultural studies. I major in philosophy with history being my minor. It can be quite dry sometimes, but I do enjoy writing essays!

Hobbies

I'm still actively leading a scouts association (new tab) and volunteer for Watoto Kabisa (new tab) which combined take the majority of my weekends.
Since last year, I also play contrabass in an advanced amateur orchestra.
Additionally, whenever I find time, I sit down and write some pages for my fantasy novel.
Given that English is my de facto day-to-day language nowadays, it's kinda nice to write in German from time to time.

Social Life

I've started monthly check-ins with a couple of friends.
What might sound like a strange idea at first, has been a real gamechanger so far and really deepened my relationships with those.
The idea is quite simple. We try to meet or call at least once per month and update each other on what's going on, what's on our mind and how we're doing in general.

Private

Apart from everything mentioned above, my remaining focus is all on our house.
We finally have all approvals and a date for the construction to start.
It's definitely exciting but also intimidating at the same time.
