Hello! I’m Alex. I’m 29, from Derbyshire, England
I work in tech and have lived in London, Toronto, Taipei and Barcelona over the last 3 years (amongst other places, lol 😅)
Gesturing at what I’m like:
- I’m not good at summarising myself, but these might help:
  - References from friends (wholesome!) → https://www.alexislearning.me/pages/references.html
  - Thread of compliments that I got at Ship It Week (late August 2025)
  - Website that I update multiple times a day (easy way to see what I think about)

About Me

Starting with career stuff because it’s most legible → I have a Master’s in Bioengineering, I’ve worked as a data analyst, “head of shared knowledge” at a biotech startup, customer success at a mental health startup, and now systems design at a tech startup
I was socially anxious af until the age of 26 when I discovered the post-rationalist scene/tpot twitter scene which taught me a bunch of amazing stuff and changed my life
- Now I’m very passionate about this scene, about things like “10x happiness increases are possible, and this is an underrated fact”
I’ve an ex-Effective Altruist!
I’m currently very into self-expression, writing, making music, making videos etc. Following the Dao
