Øyvind Snekkestad
I'm a multifaceted content creator who believes in exploring complex questions without falling for simplified narratives. My goal is to give readers, users, and listeners a deeper understanding of the world around us through thoughtful analysis, innovative technology, and expressive art.
Through my writing, I delve into politics, economics, and technology with a critical lens, questioning established narratives and exploring the mechanisms of power. My articles aim to provide nuanced perspectives on contemporary issues, particularly focusing on European politics, globalization, and digital society.
As a developer, I create practical applications that solve real-world problems. My apps – Menu Mindmap, Menu QuickNote, Snaptex and CardioInsight – demonstrate my commitment to building tools that enhance productivity and personal insight. Each project combines technical excellence with user-centered design.
I produce downtempo soundscapes with modern DAW technology and create visual content – both using AI-assisted tools. I focus on creating atmospheric musical experiences and immersive videos that provide an escape from the complexity of contemporary life.
