Areas curious about: blockchain, education, social apps and games.

I like to use code to solve societal problems and increase impact, or to solve business problems and increase profit. For example, for a previous employer I increased their revenue significantly by coming up with the idea and showcasing that it is possible to serve tasteful ads to people using adblockers (tasteful: the biggest premium brands of my country creating elaborate designs for the holidays). Societal impact has mostly been teaching code.

While I can be a coding machine cranking out features, it is less suited to my skills since my value is best added when I think along with business and marketing teams on a strategic level and then implement the proposed solution.
