Salutations!
I am a physician, computational biologist, and medical economist.

About me

Conjuring Slander and Lies

A brief introduction, then, shall we? As a child of the nineties, I witnessed both the rise of the internet and the dawn of social media megalomania — not to mention the demise of decent television, which I still haven’t quite gotten over. This website is my digital business card, portfolio, archive, and personal playground of sorts.

This is a picture of the extraordinarily handsome Yours Truly. I am standing in front of a door. I have short brownish hair, a mischievous smirk, and I am wearing a gray and black suit.

After graduating, my interest in medicine initially led me to the lab. Despite my best efforts, I didn’t manage to cure cancer or covid by furiously shattering flasks. I did, however, come to appreciate the complexity and intricacy of life. With a strong foundation in programming, I chose to merge my background in computer science with my biomedical knowledge. This led me into more practical areas of medicine, working as a hospital physician and leading digitization projects in the private sector. It is at this intersection that I found my professional niche — and where I have felt most at home ever since.

I hold a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, a master's in economics, and a medical doctorate. My areas of specialization draw from a combination of both academic study and real-world experience in medicine, bioinformatics, healthcare digitization, econometrics, medical statistics, and data science. Some colleagues like to spread outlandish rumors that I am in a mutually abusive relationship with my stats software, R — but what do pesky SPSS noobs know, anyway, right?

Outside of work, I like to dip into creative pursuits every now and then. I am quite passionate about global history and mythology, always enjoy a decent neo-noir or cyberpunk story, and like to indulge in some good old Japanese martial arts. No satori for me yet, though.

So long!
