Oiva Johannes
I'm technologist who's interested in a variety of things.
I believe that fundamental research progress in science and technology can lead us to a better future when steered correctly.
My overall philosophy for life is to get things done and to keep moving forward.
My strengths lie primarily in mathematics and computer science, but I also like to think about culture, societies, societal change, business and their intersection with technology.
I recently started my second year as a university student majoring in mathematics.
I also enjoy cycling, writing, reading and making great pizzas.
There is something weirdly technical and mechanical in the process of making pizza dough and the base.
It's like an art and a skill at the same time; it reminds me a lot about how programming should be done.
