I think in moves.

A licensed tournament chess player since 2018. Chess taught me to calculate ahead, and I bring that into everything I build, from the SpreadEd education project to decision-support research.

I · The board

Every piece is a part of me.

A real position: the Giuoco Piano after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6, one of the oldest recorded openings. White shows what I have achieved. Black shows what I am working on now. Click any piece to see what it stands for and where it can move.

Your moves:

II · The network

Everything connects.

My path as a network of places, communities and works. Pick two points and the network finds the shortest route between them. You can drag the nodes.

Click a first point, then a second.

III · Writing

All this variety often widens my writing too, sometimes through direct elements, sometimes as a quiet whisper, a building block of a new perspective.
