On Substack I cover thoughts about my work at the intersection between physiology and technology in the context of health and performance, building an independent business, training, and at times, life in general.
Thank you for your interest.
Short bio
I am a scientist and developer mainly working at the intersection between health, technology, and performance. I have a PhD (cum laude) in Data Science and a MSc (cum laude) in Computer Science Engineering as well as another MSc (cum laude) in Human Movement Sciences, with a specialization in High Performance Coaching.
I started HRV4Training in 2012, making it a tool that is today trusted by more than 200,000, including Olympic medalists and professional teams. HRV4Training is a mobile platform using advanced signal processing and data analytics to measure physiology and quantify stress, helping athletes of all levels to better balance training and lifestyle stressors. HRV4Training is also the first app that can reliably measure heart rate variability (HRV) using the phone's camera.
In the past few years, I’ve consulted for various companies (e.g. Oura, Strava) in the space, helping them empower the individual decision-making process with accurate, transparent, and effective tools.
