Systems explorer, Sunset hunter and Musician.
Passionately curious. I enjoy exploring all the systems that we form a part of: from understanding how we function in groups (exploring the psyche) to figuring out how to write compilers.
I studied computer science, socio-informatics, business and marketing in undergrad. From there I studied post-grad in Socio-Informatics, passing honours and Masters Cum Laude (2011, 2013): researching information overload on microblogging services with the help of the
MIH Media Lab. As side-projects, I've also created many sites: the most popular (
Tweekly.fm &
TwimeMachine) having been used by more than 700 000 people. When I'm not creating technology, I make music under the moniker of
Simon Segfault.
Currently an avid cryptocurrency enthusiast, delving into payment channels, colored coins and altcoin implementations. It's by far the grandest experiment humanity is busy with since the birth of the Internet: combining cryptography, technology, philosophy, politics, economics into one intellectually stimulating area. For a systems explorer like myself I wake up each day wanting to explore more of this fascinating idea.
