Forever captivated by the skies and stars, that same curiosity now draws me toward the cockpit of a Piper or Cessna. Guided by Dr. Angelo Grubisic, whose infectious passion for aerospace and fearless pursuit of flight left a lasting mark on everyone he taught. Angelo had a rare gift of making the impossible feel achievable - which to this day still makes engineering feel like my greatest adventure.

A university taster session sparked my competitive swimming journey. I spent my degree swimming rigorously and serving two years on the committee. A decade later, I’m a competitive Masters swimmer that broke the 25-second barrier by just one hundredth of a second, and still chasing sub-24 glory.

Fluent in four languages, with Norwegian and Greek on the side. Continuously expanding my skills, Dutch, German, and Portuguese are on the wishlist, while discovering the nuances, idioms, and humor that each culture brings.

Crafting traditional and experimental fermented goods. Passionate about kefir, kimchi, and mead, while also experimenting with kombucha and vinegar. Always exploring new flavors, techniques, and the science behind living cultures.

Lifelong guitarist and part-time chef. Grew up on Queen, The Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel. Played in three rock bands and the school jazz orchestra. Spent two years DJing at University, and now find comfort in jazz of all kinds, fueling coding sessions with eclectic playlists (and many kiwis).

Fascinated by peak performance and mastery. I dissect MasterChef techniques and Olympic strategies for fun, and I've backed Jannik Sinner since day one. Uncovering the routines, focus, and mindset that turn talent into true craft is what makes this journey exciting.
