Collect memories, not things. Until memories start fading

This piece is possibly for younger generations reading. I assume many of us who grew older have already figured this out on our own. I was fortunate to travel the world . Younger me bought into a minimalist philosophy. Maybe it stemmed from the fact that my dad would collect most things. He’d often joke that my future home will look like a museum. Nothing, but empty walls. The popular…

It bothers me how little startups care about 360 customer view

If you worked in sales before, you know you can’t get far without a well set customer relationships management software (a.k.a CRM). If you have not worked in sales before, here’s my short essay on why this is something you want to invest in straight from the beginning. Ensuring you have the right foundations is what you can benefit from largely later. Why should I even care? Perhaps,…

Year 2024 in Retrospective

Year 2024 started the best way possible. In the last 24 hours of 2023, I found myself on a plane, flying to a new continent and to a new country that I had never visited before: Brazil. Landing just 6 hours before NYE in an 11 million-person city, Sao Paolo. But first, how did I even get here? Leaving my employer To find out how I ended up in Brazil we have to go back in time a little bit. In…

From No Running Experience to Half Marathon in Four Months

I was the guy who only ran in school because the PE teacher made us do it—not exactly a big fan. But I’ve always admired certain people around me for their athletic achievements. I thought those were not possible for me to achieve. After avoiding any form of exercise for the past 2-3 years. Before, I used to basketball, do ballroom dancing, or go to the gym. The first two required others and…

Motivation to Write

For many years I enjoyed reading blogs, but was never brave enough to write one myself. I found the fact that the content becomes obsolete and stuff I write won’t be true anymore (or people will disagree with me) scary. But here I am today, in the VS Code typing in the first lines of what I am hoping will help me clear my head and form my thoughts better. Become more intimate with the world…

Now

Last update: Oct 7, 2024, from my home in Lausanne, Switzerland. Current priorities: Run a half-marathon in under 2 hours. Find a new job. Move to the German speaking part of Switzerland.

Have I Run Out of Luck?

Last Friday I had a conversation with my old friend that triggered me to write these paragraphs. I hesitated a lot whether I should press publish on this self-pity piece and that people reading it might not find it appealing. Not only that but they would also see me as of lower value in their eyes. But I decided to roll with it anyway for two reasons. I believe it’s important to share that…

Side Projects

I am driven by improving things around me. Highlighted Projects Hire Me as an Intern At the end of high school, I created a website to express my desire to find a summer internship abroad. The website gained massive attention, becoming the #1 post on Y Combinator's Hacker News and attracting over 30,000 visitors in a single day. It also brought me more than 150 emails from around the world and…

Education & Awards

Education The Story High-quality technical education abroad has been my aim for a long time, which is why I left my home country after graduating from the best tech high school in Slovakia (according to the INEKO ranking). Followed by applying for the Ivy League universities. The University of Cambridge, according to rankings, the 4th best university in the world, invited me for interviews where I…
