Ever since I adventured into programming for the first time, at the age of 13, I’ve fallen in love with technology and the way it can change people’s lives. Be it helping children, developing software to save lives or simply safeguarding everyone’s private data, I’ve always felt motivated to spend my time and energy on a just cause. I have always liked the Japanese concept of “ikigai”, and I am convinced that changing the world through software really is my ikigai.
