Hi! I'm Kenny. I've been drawn to education since childhood — my mother was an educator, and I saw how she shaped lives. The evaluation piece clicked later, when I witnessed how good evaluation can steer entire organizations toward real impact. My core belief: Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. I'm wary of our "weakness against data" — treating numbers as automatically more trustworthy than stories. Both statistics and narratives have their place in rigorous work. I tend to scoff at claims that any single innovation will "revolutionize" education (looking at you, AI hype). What consistently matters in learning are the things humans have always needed: efficacy, agency, and belonging. Outside work, I watch way too much League of Legends (Let's go T1!), collect Pokemon cards, and believe Korean fried chicken and beer is the ultimate meal. Let's chat about evaluation, education, or esports over food!

Hi there! This is Nicholas. I work at the intersection of research, sense-making, and system design. My grounding in philosophy — especially epistemology and conceptual engineering — shapes how I approach complex, ill-defined issues. The interest started early. I hated conflict as a child, and I noticed that most arguments stayed alive not because people truly disagreed, but because they relied on different definitions and unspoken assumptions. Clarifying concepts became my way of helping people understand both themselves and one another. This instinct guides my qualitative research and case study work with schools and education-focused organisations. I often serve as the bridge between narratives and numbers, drawing on interviews, observations, documents, and data to explain how decisions and behaviours evolve. I see stories and data as partners rather than rivals: each reveals what the other misses, and together they offer a more complete picture of culture and change. When I'm not buried in books or theories, I'm always up for a pint — preferably with good music (나 원스야!) or after Liverpool score three (YNWA, sorry United fans).
