Welcome.

I’m a mathematician by training and a storyteller at heart.
Currently, I’m based in Seattle, where I’m working toward a PhD in mathematics at the University of Washington. I’m also a theater artist.
This summer, I am working remotely as a Summer Research Intern with the NASA Langley Research Center, applying category theory to NASA's Urban Air Mobility program.
Are you…
- …in need of applied category theory expertise? I offer mathematical consulting: submit an inquiry.
- …interested in polynomial functors? Read my monograph written with David Spivak. This is a work in progress: we welcome your feedback.
- …looking for tutoring services? Unfortunately, I do not offer private tutoring at this time. Check back in a year or so to see if this changes.
