I’m interested in Generative AI (GenAI) with a special focus on Large Language Models (LLMs). I’ve built apps and websites based on LLMs, and I enjoy studying their behavior from a human psychology perspective (you can call it the “psychology of AI”). I also study eXplainable AI (XAI) and its economic implications for consumers and firms.

Programming and LLM Experience

</aside>

In my free time, I read about programming languages (Haskell, Elixir), Vim, and AI. I get passionate about our relation to technology (esp. LLMs) and I also blog about my workflow customizations.

• Update: I have been developing a programming language (started out as a DSL, as they always do…) called Pel. Trust me bruh, this is related to LLMs!
