The mission of excitech is to raise awareness of technological developments so we can make better decisions as a society.

I have a background as journalist and entrepreneur, having written for publications like Børsen, Frihedsbrevet, Weekendavisen, and Videnskab.dk. I was also co-founder at the media startup Den Uafhængige (acquired in 2023).

I’ve been keenly interested in technology since the mid-’90s, and also completed a programming course in 2021 which I think better equips me to write about the subject.

The name reflects that I am fundamentally excited about technology, but hold on to journalism’s critical sense.
