Last updated: October 2026 · Hanoi, Vietnam

Since September 2026, I have been living in Hanoi. After spending much of the last two years going back and forth, I stopped treating this part of the world as a place I visit and started building my life here.

Home in Hanoi

I live here with my partner, and we are building our everyday life together. That was the biggest reason to come, and it is the best part of being here.

Hanoi is my base for the coming months. When my schedule allows, I travel somewhere in Southeast Asia. I spend time with the friends I have made here, and friends from Germany come to visit, which makes the distance feel a lot smaller.

Building independence

I still work 30 hours a week as a software developer, now remotely from Hanoi. The rest of my time goes into my own products.

helllo.me has its first real customers, and my focus is to make it sustainable. This year I also launched wtfiwant.app, a guided reflection on what you actually want, and kebab.news, a news platform that makes sources and framing visible.

I am also looking for freelance and consulting clients. I enjoy working with founders and small teams: running the first workshop, shaping the scope, building the product, and improving it once real people start using it. If that sounds like your project, get in touch.

Full independence is still the goal. I want to get there step by step, with client work for income and products for the long run, not through one dramatic leap.

Everyday life

My routines came with me. Sports keep me balanced, whether that is running, the gym, or skateboarding, and they give the week a structure no matter where I am.

I am learning Vietnamese, slowly. Even a few words change how a conversation feels, and every bit of progress makes the city feel more like home.

Food is a big part of life here. I eat a lot of street food, still cook at home, and work from cafés more often than I probably should.

This is a now page. It reflects where I am and what I’m focused on at this point in time.
