Since then I have taken my curiosity into the world of product management, where understanding the users&#8217; underlying motivations is, to put it mildly, useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My background in psychology has sadly not given me the ability to read minds, but it has given me knowledge of <em>how&nbsp;<\/em>they think. It has also given me a critical appreciation of different types of data and research methodologies. Concerning product development, I am a keen believer in the importance of identifying the key problems to solve, though I also enjoy collaborating on finding and building the best solutions to address them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my spare time I enjoy the usual things such as reading, cooking and exercising, and I am an avid podcast listener. (Many of my sentences begin with the words &#8220;I was listening to this podcast the other day and&#8230;&#8221;, to the potential detriment of the people around me.) Sporadically, I also go out swing or tango dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why this blog? I have always found writing a good exercise for developing my thoughts on different subjects. If I can share with and hear from others, then all the better! <a href=\"https:\/\/sebontheweb.com\/index.php\/posts\/\"><strong>You can find my posts here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get in touch, then drop me a line at seb [at] sebontheweb [dot] com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always been interested in how people work and what drives them, and I initially pursued this by diving into the world of psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
