About Me

CURRENT MISSION

following the heart.

ABOUT ME

I try to understand everyone and everything and am absolutely enthralled by things I don't. I love traveling and try to do as much as it as I can. It's one of the best ways to learn and experience new things. I try to be as open as possible to new people and ideas. I enjoy meaningful (and unmeaningful) discussions, long walks and just sitting back and appreciating the universe.

My CS references so far word for word:

PHILOSOPHY

The greatest gain is to give to others.
The greatest loss is to greedily receive without gratitude.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies. Especially good ones. I mostly like music that is hard to understand. Jazz, experimental, progressive, all that stuff. Squarepusher!!!, mu-ziq, Genesis, The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Radiohead, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock. I like books that offer a new perspective on seeing things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I hitchhiked from lapland to Roskilde and back. (like 70 hours and 27 rides)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've picked up quite a bit of philosophy. I'm an engineering student so I can explain most math thats even vaguely practical. Same goes for physics. I can also teach you to say funny things in finnish!
