About Me

I am a mathematician at heart who has been serving for the past 7 years as a teacher of English and computer programming for a nonprofit organization in Gostivar, North Macedonia. I have a passion for making complicated mathematics both simple and exciting for my students, and I love to include them in my research projects whenever possible. My research interests include combinatorics and graph theory, particularly using latin squares to build embeddings or decompositions of certain families of graphs.

I also love board games and spend many date nights with my wife taming the red planet in Terraforming Mars or blowing up the Death Star in Star Wars: Rebellion. In addition to playing games, I have designed several of my own, some of which can be found on BoardGameGeek.
