I develop creative systems that merge mathematics, computation, and music through structural analogies.

All for real-time algorithmic composition, my current projects include modular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired) and multidimensional figurate number generators with over 26,000 downloads, as well as ts-tonnetz.

I have published a Scopus-indexed article in Mathematical Music Theory, serve as a peer reviewer for The European Physical Journal, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.

Perfectoid Rings Breakdance in Sonic Pi?

I move through perfectoid rings, p-adic towers, and the Frobenius map, wondering if any of it could ever end up in Sonic Pi’s sandbox.

Do Group Actions Define Regular Polytopes and Polytypes in Type Systems?

I introduce an analogy between transitive group actions on flags of polytopes and type systems. This speculative concept aims to offer a naive way of understanding and classifying types through symmetry.
