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

I work as a senior product engineer at Ketryx (new tab), helping medical device and robotic companies build better products faster.
As a side project, I'm currently building a mobile fantasy RPG fitness game where you do stuff by walking steps in real life.
Besides that, I help people realign and mediate conflicts via this page.

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 just gave up my leadership position in a scouts association (new tab) in April.
I still volunteer for Watoto Kabisa (new tab) which combined take the majority of my weekends.
Additionally, whenever I find time, I sit down and write some pages for my fantasy novel.
Apart from that, I sometimes play Tibia, a game that I've been playing on and off for over 20 years already.

Social Life

I do monthly check-ins with a couple of friends which ensures that we stay in touch and catch up with each other.
Other than that, together with my wife, we joined a completely new Dungeons & Dragons group which I'm enjoying a lot.

Private

Apart from everything mentioned above, my remaining focus is all on our house.
Construction has started in February and is progressing steadily. That means, constant calls with craftsmen and a dozen of decisions to be made, every single week.
