Hello!
I'm Nathan Brown. I am many things:
- 2nd-year math major at UT Austin
- competitive chess player
- math & chess tutor
- hobbyist programmer
- chief shenanigans organizer
I lived in NYC from 2007–2017, but have lived in Austin since 2017. I love playing board games, reading, and driving with the windows down.

I also write a blog—here are my most popular articles:
- I wrote a journal entry for every single day of 2024
- I hosted a spectacular 20-acre game of Capture the Flag
- Would you rather have 1lb of solid gold or 40M individual Cheez-Its?
