Hi! I'm Sebastian Kosch.

I grew up in post-wall Germany and moved to Canada in 2009 to study engineering (EngSci Infra 1T3, MASc MIE 1T5). In 2016, I co-founded a small software company; today, our tools help power some of the largest medical residency programs in Canada.

I have long been fascinated with how we design and read text. In 2010, I designed Crimson, which was commissioned for the launch of Google Fonts. Later, I began developing automatic kerning algorithms, and I am currently funded by Google to research neuroscience-backed machine learning models for this purpose.

I am active in the effective altruism community, and currently working with QURI on a compiler and rendering engine for the next generation of collaborative probabilistic forecasting models.

You can reach me on Twitter, Github, or via email (my first name, at this domain).
