What I'm doing now

Since returning from China in October 2025, I have deliberately taken time to process that experience and position myself for the future.
That’s why I am using this current phase intensively:

• Technological: I am deep-diving into Testing with Generative AI, preparing for the ISTQB CT-GenAI exam this February to understand how AI can make our work more efficient.
• Cultural: I am persisting with my Chinese learning (HSK preparation). It is not merely mental training but has become a beloved ritual to have a hot cup of tea in the evenings and indulge in my studies.
• Practical: You are looking at my "Tech Sandbox" right now. I am building this web server based on Security-by-Design principles. Step by step, I am integrating technologies that facilitate Digital Sovereignty—from self-hosted audiobooks to password managers with more to come.
