👋 Hi, I'm Juri. I'm a software developer currently working on financial infrastructure in (parts of) Africa at Wave Mobile Money.

In my personal time I'm pretty into woodworking and climbing.

Projects

I like to work on physical and digital things. Here are some that have reached at least a minimum notion of finished or polished.

Laser-cut jigsaw puzzles - I wrote a puzzle generator so that I could generate SVGs to cut out with an industrial Laser.

Züri Dësch - A minimalist couch table that has a second use as a bench.

Gulliver - a trip planner with a focus on simplicity and a slick user interface.

Paperboy - a tiny commandline utility to help with your pdf hoarding.

Divorce rate calculator - Prototype tool for calculating divorce outcomes under Swiss law. Built to expose complex rules via a simple UI, and to provide legal documentation to each of the inputs. I re-learned the lesson that your biggest competitor is a spreadsheet.

A long time ago I studied math and wrote a Master's thesis in number theory on hyperelliptic curves (pdf here) under the great David Masser. Check it out, it has imagesm and I even managed to prove something new! I'm still proud of it, although I can't claim to still understand my own proofs.
