now

12 Jul 2025:

Winter arc is over, but I haven’t lost focus: I’m stronger than at any point before in my life. Going to the gym a lot really helps my grappling. I have decided to fold and finally instruct in grappling, my gym has been nagging at me for years – and that’s been really fun and meaningful. I extended my contract with my consultant client to Dec 31. Learning a lot and the team is awesome. I have another small client where I advise them about AI from a tech perspective, which has been great. I don’t expect to do any long-term travelling this period, but I will try to do shorter trips. I met someone I really care about, it’s a great feeling. Skald AI is now dormant, sadly.

Living a Winter Arc with grappling, proper diet and healthy life choices in Stockholm. I’ve been spending some months abroad: in San Francisco, the mecca of AI, and had the luxury of travelling all over beautiful Vietnam. I’m working with ReAct agents as a consultant, while doing a little Skald AI on the side.

On the entrepreneurial path with Skald AI. It’s bold vision and future is a little bit unclear because our product is so different from what’s out there. Currently in Stockholm and deciding whether to take the plunge and double down or not - we can receive funding, but at the same time there is a lot of opportunity cost if you’re an actual senior AI engineer with good credentials, references and graduate degree in the space. In either case, I’m very grateful and excited by both possibilities! Life is fun.

Co-founded and working at Skald, the aforementioned “stealth AI startup”.

We raised $100K!

Urge to travel is really high, but local contacts have kept me in Sweden for now.

Working on a stealth AI startup.

Spending summer in Stockholm, but likely starting traveling again afterwards.
