The now page tells you what I am currently thinking about and what is going on right now in my life and career.
My Master's thesis: I finished working on it and I am very happy with the results - working on a publication soon!
Pursuing a PhD: I enjoy my job at the university and the writing and research process of my thesis and I have a lot of open questions about NLP, language variation and geolinguistics. I want to explore these questions somehow and pursuing a PhD seems to be a great way of doing so.
Learning Rust: I like the flexibility and efficiency of Rust and I am currently practicing every day. My goal is to build efficient NLP frameworks in Rust, that wouldn't be possible in Python.
Contributing more to OSS: I had a lot of fun contributing to folium and engaging in the discussions on the repo. Would love to block some time to continue OSS development!
Finding a balance: between making videos, coding for VFX projects and coding for NLP projects
The Indie Web: I am getting really invested in the indie web, a movement away from big tech, AI slop and corporate masquerade, towards a human-focussed internet. Love the idea and trying to incorporate it into all aspects of my work.
