☕️ Meet developers in Berlin

What does it mean to have friends? They contact you, you contact them, to engage in activities together, outside of work. In an ideal future, work is aligned with voluntary pursuits. You need a system of initiating and maintaining contact. https://medium.com/suomesta/philosophy-of-innovation-1ac6ff033e75 What makes friendship worthwhile is to have well developed hobbies – e.g. Kinopoli, not just to watch films, but have background and analyses ranging from narratives to cinematography – namely, sophistication. The quality in both is indispensably linked, and with what it means to become developed as a person, to achieve flourishing, to experience the most elevating aspects of living. What is epidemic is not just the symptoms of isolation and anguish, but a lack of skill to develop sophistication and to connect. Something is also missing from tools of facilitation. Mostly related to language tech… Also the many steps between physical phenomena that are available for analysis by machines and the mental life of psycholinguistics, from particles of air, to spectrograms, to phonemes, to lexicon, to structural semantics, to pragmatics, to thoughts, sentiments, and qualia computed by the electricity between neurons… Greater products and wealth are to be created by having original insight and understanding of the nature of things Kahneman has explained the experiencing and the remembering self. My opinion: the value of experiences is as good as making it available in cognitive processing – memory, as reconstructed is as good as the past – and what we experience through the senses is as good as real – it is living To connect at the level of the intellect, what is needed is a vehicle or stage, a facilitating setup of object that brings multiple minds to a shared topic. What is the act of sharing a link, writing or reading a message, having a seminar, a workshop – analogous to Werner Herzog’s idea that the world needs “adequate images”, what we lack are adequate “PowerPoints”, forthcoming, of substance, lucid, cogent, high-quality as if carefully handcrafted, on any of the millions of topics, appropriate to the one at hand. A meaningful discussion on a specific topic needs a good setup

I am working as a data scientist for a company called Ecovadis. I spend my time developing models and learning about software engineering. On the side, I have a hobby project (https://www.myweekahead.com). I built this to improve my technical skills as well as make it as a playground for all my upcoming experiments. I completed my studies in computer engineering and computer science, earning both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I started my career as a quality assurance engineer, spending significant time on manual testing and developing automated tests for web applications. Recently, I wrapped up my master’s thesis on detecting greenwashing on social media using machine learning, and I’m now working as a data scientist, diving into exciting data-driven projects. I generally like to build tools that make everything I do easier. So most likely I will spend my time building web apps and writing scrapers and scripts to automate stuff the I do repeatedly or to even improve them!

Hello! I’m currently living in Berlin, working full time at JustWatch as a software engineer (mainly back-end focused). Working on the side on Frenl. I studied computer science in the south of France, stayed for a while in Los Angeles and then actually moved to Berlin for JustWatch. Still loving the city :) I love coding and building things so I don’t think that I would ever stop, even if I didn’t have to work. My cousin from LA will definitely stay as one of the biggest positive influences on my life. He’s the one that showed me the “startup life” and showed me that work could be a relaxed thing :) Bitcoin is popular simply because it fits a modern narrative saying that everything would be so much better if deregulated. In the end, my feeling is that this “revolution” is actually going back to a feudal monetary system using crypto instead of gold, wasting an crazy amount of energy in the process.

Here are a few different ways that I can contribute: As an Architect: You need microservices designed in an efficient, scalable, atomic way or improving an existing one to be more performant As a developer: You need someone to execute a service from scratch, or jump in and I love a good work stories. Bloopers, challenging obstacles you managed to overcome, frustrations, anything at all!
