ADVOCACY & ACTIVISM


Where do I even begin. Battling a company named after a fruit in Brussels with the help of the European Commission. Preparing for the next hearing in Brussels this summer together with the amazing folks at the open web advocacy.

TECH


Things have been crazy busy with my company cryptee, tech-related advocacy & activism in general. So I haven't had much time to work on anything big or exciting lately. Lots of small incremental updates though, and that brings me plenty of joy.

LIFE


After a few busy months, back on track trying to improve my Swedish skills. Started reading and practicing again, and business trips to Stockholm helped a lot! I'm trying to carve out some time to book more courses with my amazing tutor helping me practice conversational Swedish with topics like tech, DMA, regulation, privacy, information security, music and more.

MUSIC


Working on a new LP album with a string orchestra (and hopefully a few brass instruments too, but let's see how it all comes together), which is taking significantly longer than I initially anticipated with lots of other work taking up time. It has been way too long since the last album, and I can't wait to release something new.
