Serdar Salim

I was born in Türkiye and grew up in Austria. I've always enjoyed taking things apart and figuring out how stuff is built. Same curiosity pulled me toward why people behaved so differently across borders, which sent me to study transcultural communication.

After university I moved to Ireland and joined Twitter, back when its mission was to serve the public conversation. I spent a decade there helping millions of people connect.

Currently I work as an automation engineer, consulting for businesses that want to cut the repetitive work. I hand the busywork to machines so the team can focus on what actually moves the business.

I believe there's a bigger purpose to life than this temporary world, and that there's an afterlife. I'm a Sunni Muslim, and my faith gives me the answers I have about existence and guides me to live a better life.

Married, one daughter, currently living in Malaysia. When I'm not working I'm with family, walking somewhere quiet, or down a rabbit hole on history, personal finance, or philosophy.
