This is a now page, a place to share what I’m currently focused on.

Work 
I’ve been working at Versiro since September 2024. I’m building customer-facing dashboards with a heavy focus on data visualization. Technologies used are TypeScript, React, and Python.
Hobbies 
I started learning Japanese in April 2024. Right now, I know 712 kanji (meanings and readings), and I’m on level 21 of WaniKani. Speaking is my weak point :( whenever I talk to a Japanese person I turn into a stuttering mess. I use WaniKani for kanji acquisition, and I try to immerse by watching anime and reading Tadoku books. After a six-month break, I’m back in classes at the University of Amsterdam.
I go to the gym for strength training three times a week.
I got into journaling last year. I have a traveler’s notebook and a Hobonichi. It’s hard not to spend all my money on washi tape, stickers, and new fineliners.
Trips 
I went to Japan this year and hiked the Kumano Kodo! Next year, I’m going to Indonesia (this one is actually happening), and I’m planning* to go back to Japan.
*I set up Google Flights alert and watched a bunch of TikToks
Logging 
I’m still logging everything I read and watch at what.pm. So far in 2026, I’ve read 52 books, watched 32 movies, and 19 TV show seasons. You can also see the live numbers on the home page.
In 2025, I read 69 books, watched 34 movies, and 12 TV show seasons. My top favorite books from that year, in no particular order:
- Ymir by Rich Larson
- The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
- The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
- Hunchback by Saou Ichikawa
- Flashlight by Susan Choi
TV show wise, I rewatched all of Legion in 2025. I forgot how good it was.
This website 
I redesigned this website (again)! It’s still built with Astro, but I said goodbye to Sanity: all the content now lives right in the codebase. The stats on the home page come straight from what.pm, WaniKani and Last.fm.
