About

I admire people who know things, but perhaps due to my being driven by curiosity, I'm not an information hoarder. For me, information is mainly a fluid, hence it only makes sense to know things if you share and discuss them. I started teaching for the same reason: the pure joy of information exchange, followed by feedback, commentary, arguments, and questions. The thrill of a genuine dialogue.

I'm a mathematician (PhD. in homological algebra and category theory) with a deep interest in the history and philosophy of science, technology, science education using modern tools.

While blogs or newsletters cannot replace a true discussion, including its learning experience, I do think they can provide one more opportunity for starting a conversation. Hence the initiative for my writing here: an IPO for my curiosity, a first line in an intended conversation.

The Gradient illustrates this planned fluidity, but it could also point to a direction. I'm not sure whether that will be the case, nor if I want it to, but I'm excited and curious to start this.

I believe in open, accessible education, so I will do my best to keep my work here as freely available as possible. At the same time, maintenance and hosting for this page alone is not free for me.

Therefore, I set up an optional subscription and extend my gratitude to all of you who will engage with me and my work through reading, commenting, sharing, subscribing, or paying a one-time contribution. Should you be interested in more of my services, such as educational consulting, tutoring, curriculum development, writing, or editing, feel free to reach out either via my personal website, or my company.
