About Me

I've been solving and making puzzles since childhood, but caught the constructing bug in a serious way in 2017 when I submitted a Dracula-themed puzzle set to Puzzled Pint. In 2020, The Inkubator published my first cryptic crossword. Since then, I've contributed over 100 cryptic crosswords to various venues including the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, with a regular gig at New Scientist.

When not solving or constructing, I'm working my day job as an editor for the Ontario government or spending time with my family at home in Toronto.
