Three things shaped how I work. None of them are jobs.
15 years of competitive swimming
Spent 15 years staring at the black line on the bottom of a pool.
Raw discipline and consistency: no shortcuts, you show up or the clock proves you didn't.
Ability to execute under physical and mental fatigue.
Long-term commitment: complex results are just the accumulation of small, daily repetitions.
~10 years of chess
Playing chess for about a decade.
Pattern recognition and catching small details before they become a problem.
Patience over impulse: slowing down and thinking ahead when things get complicated.
Curious Mindset
Moving out for my Erasmus in the Netherlands, plus traveling through places like Taiwan and Thailand.
Adapting quickly to new environments and feeling comfortable outside my comfort zone.
Realizing there is rarely just one way to approach a problem.
