About me

Hi, I'm Niko

Currently based in Hamburg, Germany, I work as a strategy advisor for an international energy firm. Having previously lived in Spain and the United States, my global perspective heavily influences my work.

On this blog, I explore the intersections of finance, economics, technology, and the energy sector, sharing my ideas and insights. I also enjoy diving into hands-on side projects that catch my interest.

When I'm not writing or working, you can usually find me playing basketball, reading a good book, hitting the ski slopes, or traveling to new destinations.
