• I am a PhD candidate at Universiteit Leiden, working on logic, algebra, and coalgebra as they pertain to computer science.

  To read more about my academic background and research interests, you can check out my academic page.

• I have also worked as a web developer for social good, at My Media Creative.
• I am a Free Software enthusiast. In particular, I daily drive NixOS and Emacs, and I host my own home server.

Here is a curated collection of some of my favourite blog posts from some cool blogs.

• The Indie Web
• The SPICY Web

• The Desktop Metaphor: Once Awesome, Now Hindrance (Karl Voit)

  Thinking critically about the epistemology of computing in a practical setting is a niche interest of mine. Here's a little taster!

• Linux, Unix Philosophy and why programs are just filters

  Another version of what I mention just above. The UNIX-like terminal is a big step away from being chained to the desktop/folder metaphor, but just because it's a "better" alternative doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical.

• You Need a Portfolio (Jared White)

  Why do we consume media chronologically so much? Think Twitter, Reddit, Instagram. Does a piece of media lose its value once something else has been made to cover it up in the timeline?

• Drawing the Line: Shared Narration in TTRPGs (Troypress)

• Deep Dive: Stonetop (Indie Game Reading Club)

  Stonetop is the RPG I'm currently spending most of my energy on. It's the first sytem I've played where I really feel like system mastery is an attainable and desirable goal. This post does assume some familiarity with Powered by the Apocalypse games, though.

Dead link? Accessibility concern? Just wanna chat?

I really enjoy talking with and learning from people. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
