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. My long-running projects have taught me long-term planning and the consequences of my actions and choices.

I have taught math and science at all levels, from elementary school to university. I craft learning journeys that meet people where they are and get them 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 mathematics and a MSc in computer science with focus on cryptography. I spent 3 years doing research in ice-ocean interactions and models for climate change at Stockholm University. I can now say: yes, ice melts.

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 a a certified Feldenkrais teacher, helping others find more softness and possiblities in themselves. These days I am partly an educator and crafter of learning journeys in the IT space, and a movement practitioner.

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🧘!

I am happy to receive meaningful correspondence or work related inquiries. Get in touch at webmaster@{thisdomain}.
