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 libraries 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 Special Topics, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.

Can Axiomatic Systems Have a Geometry and a Type?

A Saturday reflection on imagining a geometry of axiomatic systems and wondering whether theories could become types that carry information about what can and can't be proven about them, inspired by proof assistants like Lean.
