Code, classroom, ballot box.

I move between three rooms that don't usually share a hallway. In one, I teach the next generation of software developers and testers. In another, I'm studying how international institutions work — and from 2026, training to teach mathematics and informatics too. In a third, I've spent election nights counting ballots, and this year led that count as committee president.

Each room sharpens the others. Teaching demands the same precision I first learned debugging code. Studying institutions gives shape to the civic work. And civic service is a standing reminder that systems — digital or democratic — only hold up when someone trustworthy is minding the details.
