Hi, I'm Teowan.

I spent years studying how atoms arrange themselves into materials, crystal structures, phase diagrams, the whole beautiful mess of condensed matter. These days I mostly convince computers to do the hard parts for me.

I like building tools that help scientists do science. A well-designed piece of software can turn a week of grunt work into an afternoon. I find that deeply satisfying. If you've ever used something I built and it saved you time, we're already friends.

I'm a husband and a dad to one very opinionated daughter. She has already beaten me at more video games than I'm willing to officially document. We love playing co-op games together, where I run around shooting in every direction like a man with no plan while she quietly eliminates every enemy on the map. We make a great team.

I grew up with a controller in my hand, and I'm genuinely glad gaming is something we share now. There are worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. There are also better ones, but we haven't found them yet.

I am genuinely in love with mathematics and science. The kind where a simple idea unfolds into something unexpectedly profound. That never gets old.

I also love conversation. Real conversation, the kind where you actually go somewhere. I'm just not built for large groups. Give me one or two good people and I'll talk for hours. Put me at a networking event and I'll be the one refilling my drink at suspicious frequency.
