![Me](/images/me.jpg)

Hi, I'm Jan. I'm a [physicist] by training and spent 15y years in the games industry, most of them at [King], the makers of [Candy Crush]. I'm German, based in Spain. You can find my professional background on [LinkedIn].

This site is includes a curated database of [L-Mount lenses], which I maintain because I shoot a [Panasonic S1] and [S1Rii] myself and got tired of hunting through disjointed spec sheets littered with ads and affiliate shopping links. Besides that, I sporadically write about stuff like guitars (of which I have more than I care to admit), photography, games, or whatnot.

You can also find out more about [Pintxøs], a little tool I developed to remove clickbait and ragebait from RSS feeds and bring back plain-facts sanity to my news reading.

You can find more photos on [Instagram] and the occasional toot about games, life, the universe, and nothing on [Mastodon].

I also used to write the [Delicious Digest] Newsletter.
