About

I’m a pretty big nerd about math and science. I also make some software for fun too. The content on this website will thus mainly revolve around these topics, with a couple outliers.

Please note that I could have four years of professional experience in some areas, and four days of Googling experience in others. Yet, while explaining a topic in a paragraph, I retain the same authoritative voice in both of these circumstances.

Many of the pages on this website are in an eternal state of work in progress. I’ve considered adding a changelog, but decided against it since maintaining it would probably be a logistical nightmare.

Colophon

I currently host this site on my own infrastructure. I build the site using Hugo and use a tweaked Hugo blog awesome theme. I probably spend as much time tweaking the website interface as I spend time actually writing the content. Oh well.
