Sunny day in Montreal
Colorado Hike
Fruit tea is nice when hot
Good ol' book shelf
My name is Filip Malesev. Czech-born but raised speaking Serbo-Croatian, I am a 20-year-old aspiring professional looking for a career in Technology and Law. Having a tech-savvy father, uncle, and cousins has certainly pushed me toward a technologically-influenced worldview, both in my career goals and life.
Whether that manifests in my techno-centric analyses of the future or my willingness to integrate tech into my day-to-day, I am no stranger or opponent to the changing technological tide that seems to be encroaching.

Having grown up outside of the US and entering as an immigrant, I've found that a variety of simplicities have been my anchor throughout the tumultuous and often confusing integration process.
I love tea, hiking, books, comics, as well as games, and I'm glad to share my passion when I can. Digital or physical, I am no stickler for medium or format when it comes to consuming my favorite content!
I like to stay involved and knowledgeable about politics, technology, and culture as much as any Gen-Zer; more so, perhaps, than some. I pursue information where I can and always look to find a holistic understanding of events before forming my thoughts.

A fundamental motto that I live by, funnily enough, is "a jack of all trades is a master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” In the informational barrage that is the modern-day internet, I find it important to be an individual who looks beyond themselves. In many ways, the advent of the internet was one of the single most simultaneously destructive and constructive discoveries in human history.
We have reaped, as a species, enormous benefits from the facilitation of easily accessible information repositories, and it has allowed us to progress technologically and globally at a pace before unseen. Yet, it has also enabled the malicious propagation of misinformation to the point where the security and trust of our institutions have become at risk.
In such a world, a mind that is adept in sifting through a variety of information, and one that has been trained in good, healthy informational analysis, is one that will prosper. For me, this means indulging in media and information that I otherwise may not have any interest in. I may read medical journals in the wake of mass vaccine denial, or watch war footage when foreign or domestic powers want to paint a faulty narrative to the global community.
Regardless of the global politics that influence my research, I have found tremendous personal success in being, at the very least, knowledgeable about the basics of a multitude of subjects, as even the basic level of understanding means I am able to more quickly dive deeper if the situation calls for it.
