Hi, I’m Sam 👋

I’m a software engineer based in Budapest and I’m interested in AI and knowledge systems and writing and languages and fitness and veganism and painting and polysyndetons.

Right now I’m taking some time off work to focus on life and reading more and training writing and thinking carefully about the kind of life and work I want to build next.

This is what I'm into these days:

Now

• Reading more, training, writing, and recovering a slower sense of direction in life
• Preparing for a longer Canada trip and a Montreal life experiment
• Thinking about AI, knowledge systems, and what kind of work is worth doing next

Past

• ✅ trying to remain up to speed with current AI trends - tech, ethics, law and compliance
• ✅ reading "A Brief History of Intelligence" by Max Bennett
• ✅ studying for the HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate exam
• ✅ studying for an AWS DevOps certification
• ✅ taking time off work to focus on life
• ✅ preparing for a Google Data Engineer certification exam
• ✅ going on an offline retreat to a remote village
• ✅ going on a Zen meditation retreat
• ✅ painting with watercolour
• ✅ working on a pet project (here)
• ✅ reading "anéantir" by Michel Houellebecq
• ✅ training every day (cycling/swimming/calisthenics)

This is a now page, and if you have your own website, you should make one too!
