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 Sunnyvale, California

I enjoy sword fighting—which I do through Belegarth, Amtgard, and 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 write some fantasy and science fiction as well as fan fiction.

 

Writing on technical subjects, including my undergraduate and PhD theses in number theory, and writing on AI safety.
