Johannes Meyer: My Life Beyond Quantitative Finance

Violins, cricket, and a late-blooming love for math. Getting to know the guy behind the quant posts.

Most people know me as the guy married to cricket, though hypermobility turned that into a passion rather than a career. I also play the violin: Praeludium and Allegro is my current goal.

I did not love math growing up; computer science was the bridge. I believe balance is key; one pursuit should not define your entire identity. Also, monetizing things does not feel natural to me: I struggle with asking for money in exchange for service. Social media has walls, and people are not always who they say they are. Keep pushing beyond the images.
