Hi there 👋, my name is Stefano Ottolenghi 🤸

I have a life-long passion for science, math, and technology. And also for writing, classical music, light, and movement. I've never bought into the distinction science vs arts. I have worked with software for over a decade, and I have learnt not to fall into the trap of using technology to solve human problems. I like to solve problems – sometimes that involves software engineering, sometimes writing content, sometimes trashing code, sometimes emotional intelligence. Code is only one tool. I have started projects that spanned many years and I've learnt a lot about long-term planning and the consequence of my actions and choices.

I have taught math and science at all levels, from elementary school to university. I can put myself in the learner's shoes and craft learning journeys that meet people where they are and get them where they want to be. Or where they don't yet know they could be. I have also done a lot of public speaking, for both technical and less technical audiences. I founded a science-for-kids not-for-profit and worked in a libertarian school. I hold a BSc in Applied Mathematics and a MSc in Computer Science with focus on cryptography and cybersecurity. I spent 3 further years doing research in ice-ocean interactions and models for climate change at Stockholm University.

After my theoretical studies I developed an overwhelming interest in body and movement. Yoga has been an alley for over a decade; acroyoga and dance popped in later on; the Feldenkrais method and its refinement of ability has been its culmination. I am now training as a Feldenkrais teacher, learning how to use myself better and how to help others do the same.

I live in Stockholm 🇸🇪, and I previously lived in Italy 🇮🇹, Ireland 🇮🇪 and Spain 🇪🇸.
I love playing ping pong 🏓 and the piano 🎹, as well as hiking🏃, inline skating 🛼 and (acro)yoga🧘!
