My name is Mitchell Owen. I’m a software engineer with a PhD in number theory. I am currently working on a board game and thinking about the nature of truth.
I’m based in San Jose, California
I enjoy sword fighting—which I do through Belegarth, as well as previously some HEMA—theorycrafting for complex games, and genre fiction that helps me grow as a person.
I play a number of tabletop RPGs and have extensive house rule documents, as well as a handful of campaign outlines, settings, and board games of my own.
I am currently writing what I hope to be the first in a series of fantasy novellas. I occasionally write non-fiction posts for social media and intend to collect my writing here going forward.
I don’t do much technical writing outside of work these days, but I do have an archive of my undergraduate and PhD theses as well as notes on technical subjects I try to learn.
