Ahoi, I’m René.

AI, Data, and (P)KM Enthusiast and Professional

I explore the intersection where humans and machines meet, philosophically, technically, and strategically.

HUMAN MACHINE Philosophy of Technology Collective Intelligence Digital Ethics AI Governance

Whether here or elsewhere, I approach AI and data through a humanistic lens. I believe the transformative power of these technologies demands deep, foundational reflection of the kind that philosophy is uniquely equipped to provide.

Questions that drive me

  • How do we ensure that AI systems serve democratic values and not just market logic?
  • What does it mean to understand, when machines appear to “understand”?
  • What risks do we create when we scale intelligence without scaling accountability?

Background

I hold an MA in Philosophy from UCPH, where I specialized in phenomenology and the philosophy of mind. My thesis explored the limits of neural networks – a project that sparked a passion for AI that still burns bright today.

Over time my focus has evolved from theoretical to practical. To deepen my applied expertise, I’ve completed:

Work

I currently work at a leading AAA+ video game developer where I drive the digital knowledge management initiative on one of the company’s flagship brands. While I began with core KM tasks, my role has expanded into data engineering and intelligent automation.

Tasks I’ve been preoccupied with recently include:

  • Designing custom scripts to automate data ingestion, processing, and knowledge extraction across development platforms

  • Implementing automated workflows to reduce manual overhead and ensure real-time updates

  • Building Power BI dashboards to monitor content performance, system health, and knowledge flow

Upcoming: I’m leading the development of an AI-powered chatbot and knowledge retrieval system to enable fast, self-service access to critical project information.

Side projects

Coming soon.

Interests

I enjoy writing (fiction and nonfiction), hiking, cycling, running, playing chess and Magic: The Gathering, and exploring world cuisines.

This site

This site is mainly a space for sharing my thoughts on topics that interest me. But it is also a personal sandbox for design and web experimentation. It was first built on WordPress, then Django, and now runs on Hugo.
