community

独乐乐，不若与众乐乐

Joy is greater when it is shared. Almost everything I care about eventually turns into the same question: how do I get somebody else into the room?

three rooms, one instinct

I build community in three places — through mathematics, through music, and through the plain work of showing up. The subjects are different. The instinct is the same: notice who is missing, then open the door.

01Math

Making mathematics reachable

Reorganizing hundreds of competition problems, teaching younger students, and building free resources so that curiosity is never the thing that runs out first.

02Music

Music that leaves the practice room

Performing where people do not usually get concerts, writing music for others to play, and using sound to make a room feel less lonely.

03Belonging

Building a better community

The work that is not math or music: organizing, volunteering, and the slow, unglamorous business of making a place where people want to stay.

Enter the community work

A problem set, a piece of music, a room full of strangers.

All of them get better the moment somebody else is in it with you.
