Interests

When I’m not working with WordPress, I’m usually moving. I’m an avid cyclist with a history in road, mountain, gravel, commuting, and touring — including bike-packing adventures across Thailand, Europe, and the US. I’ve also competed in triathlons since 2010, run trail races since 2006, and practiced yoga since the early 2000s. More recently, Muay Thai has become a source of discipline and strength, and dance continues to be a passion — from club nights in Berlin to festivals that fuel my creativity.

I’m equally passionate about technology and design. I enjoy working with AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) alongside Figma prototyping and GitHub workflows (issues, branches, pull requests, and release management). The intersection of AI, open source, and creativity inspires both my professional work and personal projects.
