Hello! Where to begin? I'm a former #historian who got a PhD in 2019, studying the history of the anti-apartheid movement in the United States. In 2020, I completely switched gears and became a software engineer, but still moonlight as a freelance #writer. I write too much about #food. My taste in #music is all over the map, I'm always looking for new projects and work, and I spend too much time playing #videogames.
Historian, Deutsches Historisches Institut Paris. media history (esp. radio) and history & political economy of public transport infrastructure in Africa.

Philosopher and logician, from Australia, now based at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
I like thinking about—and helping other people think about—logic and philosophy and the many different ways they can inform and enhance each other.
I suppose I’m known for work on substructural logics, logical pluralism, and (more recently) what philosophers should know about proof theory, and proof theorists should know about philosophy.
