Hey there 👋
I'm Marvin Danig
Welcome to my personal notebook.
- I'm an optimist. And an independent researcher.
- I love building things.
- I am a follower of science. As in, I believe there should be an empirical religion around it.
- I believe in people and in our ability to build great things together. And sometimes alone.
- I deeply care about our planet and all living beings that share it.
