Now

This is a now page. It’s a snapshot of what I’m focused on, interested in, and thinking about. I will hopefully update whenever things shift.

Work

Doing my PhD at Aalborg University on cloud-connected bionic limbs; the intersection of 5G, cloud computing, and assistive robotics. The kind of work where latency isn’t just a performance metric, it’s someone’s ability to grip a cup of coffee.

Learning things outside my lane

One of the things I enjoy most about the PhD is the freedom to wander. I’ve taken courses that have nothing to do with electronic systems, and they’ve shaped how I think more than I expected:

• Biophysical Expression, Affect & Movement (BEAM): Exploring how bodies express and communicate beyond language. We started with Feldkreis practice, a really slow movement thing that somehow leaves you really tired by the end, and ended up using iPhone gyroscope/accelerometer data to build a chord player app for my live performance. People also performed with electrodes, did Touchdesigner-powered dance, and even created a dyslexic text-to-speech that tracks your eye movement.
• Musically Embodied Machine Learning: What happens when you bring ML into musical performance and embodied interaction. In both of those courses outside my track, I met really brilliant people.
• AI-Based Database Systems: I was one of the only people not from the data systems department. Here, I got deep into Milvus, FAISS, and vector similarity search; concepts that I now use constantly.
• Human-Centered AI, Self-Supervised Learning, Scientific Computing in Python, Wireless Communications Towards 6G: The more expected PhD courses, but still valuable.
• User Evaluations of Media Innovations and Games: Understanding how people actually experience the things we build, how to test the testers, how to measure user experience, and such. A great extension to my disciplines, when you think user-centric.

Being around art students, database researchers, and game designers changes how you frame problems.

Guitar

I play guitar. I’ve been recording short videos, mostly posting as Instagram stories, because I like the idea that you catch it or you don’t. No highlights, no archive. Hopefully, every visit is a different experience for my friends. My thoughts on this might change, but right now I like its ephemerality.

Music

I have tracks on Spotify and Apple Music. Making music is how I think through things that don’t fit into code or on paper.

Side projects

Currently developing QiTV and Limitr publicly. Limitr is the newest thing: a limiter with embedded transcription and noise cancellation. Still full of bugs, but it’s getting there.

Playing

Recently, I have been playing Pokémon Pokopia intensively. No apologies.

Copenhagen

Living in Copenhagen. It’s been a few years now. Still noticing things.

On letting go

I recently watched this Instagram reel. A guy tries to impress a girl by cooking a steak. First, a perfect medium rare, then butter-basted, then chimichurri. His alter ego asks, “Why bother? She’s clearly not interested”. He thinks that if he can do a better presentation, it would make her eat. The alter ego tastes the steak: “Your first one was already good. She was never going to like it, no matter what you do.”

It’s framed as a friendzone joke in the video, but it hit something real. I’ve been letting go of the need to please; at work, with friends, in general. If someone doesn’t see your value when you’re already doing well, doing more won’t change that. It sounds a bit depressive when you say it out loud, but honestly, it’s one of the most freeing things I’ve felt recently. So, “your first steak was already good.”

Watching

Obsessed with The Bear. The chaotic mind, the desperation, things never quite resolving but always on the edge.

The soundtrack says it better than I can:

What I’m into lately

Computer vision, machine learning, robotics, 5G networks, vector-stuff. The philosophy of ephemeral content. Interdisciplinary thinking. The tension between engineering precision and creative messiness. Accepting that not everyone has to like your steak.
