Summary of webpage

Welcome to my webpage. This can be considered by portfolio and playground. After a family-centered hiatus from working, I am picking up the torch again.

My journey from studying at university, to finishing a PhD, has lead me here. The combination of R/Quarto/Github is a wonderfully easy and customisable thing to test my skills and learn more.

My one goal right now is figuring out how I can coalesce all my skills for the benefit of the Danish healthcare system, future colleagues, and patients.

Who am I

I am a:

  • Data lover
  • Learner
  • Pragmatic solution enthusiast
  • Explorer of connections and correlations
  • Tester of theories versus the real world
  • Deep thinker and systematiser
  • Father and husband
  • People helper

AI

You might wonder why I have a section on AI here. The reason is simple:

  • If you don’t use it, you will fall behind
  • If you use it thoughtlessly, you will lose your ability to think hard and critically and produce original ideas and connect them. And you will produce garbage

I am a firm believer that current AI use is contrasted in two concomitantly existing extremes:

  1. Underused
    • one of the most useful tools humanity has invented, hailed as “the great equalizer” for good reason
    • most people I have worked with are just catching up and using it for stuff I used it for 2 years ago
  2. Overused
    • prone to a bubble bursting soon
    • thoughtlessly used for almost everything
    • potentially limiting human thinking and flourishing

As such, I will explicitly state when I use AI.

You have my word - as much as it is worth - that what is produced here is my own, unless AI is explicitly mentioned.

Transparency, and being explicit in your assumptions and intentions is something I value highly.

I use AI for:

  • Quick brainstorming
  • Providing a quick backbone of code on which I can build
  • Learning how and why code works, under the hood (faster than, but not replacing, looking up documentation)
