About

Hello friend, it is a pleasure to host you.

I do applied AI at hallo theo, building AI systems for property management. Before that, I built and ran a data consultancy.
I like to ride bikes and bake bread. Together with three friends, I organize Hamburg’s Backyard, a gravel ultra in Hamburg. I have not started a bakery yet.

VIELUNFUG [‘fiːl ˈʊnˌfuːk]

Ideas need a dynamic, fluid, generous environment to sustain life. Applications, on the other hand, benefit from critical rigor. Produce a high ratio of ideas to applications.

— Bruce Mau

Germans have a word for when kids do seemingly silly things: Unfug. But isn’t that just their way of discovering the world? I believe this shouldn’t be exclusive to our younger selves. Taking ourselves a little less seriously puts us in a position to stumble into new things, to develop new ideas.
Most of those ideas will be shit, but that’s the whole point. Not being afraid of that is a kid’s superpower.
Doing Unfug is developing ideas by means of playing. This is where I develop mine.

With gratitude.
Jan
