About me
Hey, I'm Kilian.
Generalist
I am a generalist still trying to find my way. Design, finance, technology, how a thing works and who it is for. I like all of it, and I have never managed to pick one. Most people around me seem to have decided by now.
Minimalist with some perks
I could get by with very little. I am not attached to things and I do not need much space, which makes it easy to pack up and leave. The exception is sport equipment, and it is not a small exception. Bikes above all, and everything that gets me into the mountains on foot.
Then there is the Bulli, which is what makes the rest of it work.
That is the whole build and it is all I need. I can drive to wherever the roads or the trails are good, bring the people I care about along, and still get my work done from wherever I end up.
Sport
On the bike and on the run my head switches off, and that is why I do it, more than the times are. You cannot think about a broken workflow at kilometre thirty because your legs are too loud.

The target
I want to finish an Ironman before I turn 25.
I am 22 now. A marathon under three hours in spring, then the long one.
Same engine at work
It took me a while to notice that this is not a separate side of me. When something gets me I sit at it until four in the morning, and it never feels like effort because I stop noticing the time.
Last spring I had a holiday booked and a talk waiting right behind it, and two weeks to get from opening Claude Code for the first time to building an app live in front of a room. So the holiday turned into the preparation. Up at six, work until the token limit hit, five hours on the road bike while it refilled, then back at it, every day until I was ready.
The person who sits up until four is the person who holds a pace for five hours. One engine, and it does not care much what I point it at.
What's next
Exams in September, degree right after. Then something new starts, still under wraps. I want to work a lot and learn a lot somewhere I can own something instead of being handed a slice of it. Long term I want to build my own.
Companies that make things, not just present them. That is the kind of place I picked.
