Hey there,
I'm Jonas Erthal, a computer programmer and (occassional) writer.
My work primarily focuses on data-oriented, machine-learning based applications. In recent years this has evolved into the applications of reinforcement learning and large language models.
I worked previously at Microsoft in the exciting area of business process monitoring (data) and at JP Morgan for the Energy Trading Desk managing applications around risk (more data). I have also created and sold several independent products.
A bit about me
- • I currently work on Empwr.ai, focused on transforming meeting conversations into org-wide knowledge.
- • I'm an amateur ironman-distance triathlete
- • I've dabbled in games.
Values
Values are concepts that are held at different levels of importance for different people. They are guides and provide a framework for decision-making and behavior. I believe it is important to have and share your values, as they help you navigate life and work with clarity and purpose.
Perseverance
Push through challenges and setbacks. Progress comes from consistent effort over time. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Curiosity
To be an eternal student is to keep the mind open and engaged, always seeking to learn and grow.
Discipline
Maintain focus and structure in all endeavors. Quality emerges from consistent practices and attention to detail.
Courage
Take bold action and build things despite uncertainty. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from trying.
Inspired by Oxide Computer's principles to share these values openly.
