👷 Work

After two years working on the open source AI framework Haystack, I joined LlamaIndex in June 2024 as a founding engineer, again working on open source software. I’m now in-between jobs, detoxing from AI fatigue, decluttering my digital life and reading a lot, mostly fiction.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Life

Random stuff that’s going on:

• I’ve spent several hours reordering my bookshelf, organizing 300+ volumes and syncing my Goodreads account.
• I removed all social media apps from my phone. My reading throughput went through the roof. Fuck short attention spans.
• Also fuck LinkedIn, I’ve set it up to forward messages to my email, I’ll keep my professional profile updated but I’m not doomscrolling anymore.
• Houses are living creatures requiring constant attention and maintenance. Contractors help keeping expenses down by never showing up.
• I keep practicing guitar and studying music, my gear still consists of a Seagull S60 acoustic guitar, an Acus One Forstrings 5T amplifier and a travel guitar, a Crafter Mino.

💭 Inspiring notes

• See, managers tell you where you are. Leaders (…) tell you where you’re going.
• Management is not a promotion, management is a change of profession.
• Would you buy a car if it eats 100 liters per 100 kilometers? How about 1000 liters? With computers, we do that all the time.
• You only have this one crazy and precious life. That’s why you owe it to yourself to see who you can become, and how far you can go.
• This is the original sin of software dev: it’s a pop culture where we’re trained to accept gossip as evidence.
• You’re a set of DNA that’s never existed before in human history and will never exist again.
