Zeke Vogler

In elementary school, Zeke worked for his father's electrical engineering company, quickly becoming a jack of all trades there. With a knack for computers and math, he grew up dreaming he would create video games and pursued a degree in CS at UC Davis, specializing in computer graphics and creating game clones. Due to many awesome math profs there, he double majored in math and pursued a PhD in math. Afterwards, he founded an iPhone app company where he coded an Algebra tool to help math students. Then, he decided to go back to UC Davis to pursue research in cosmology models and lecture math. During his tenure there, he was a finalist for multiple teaching awards, and he quit after 5 years, realizing their philosophical differences in math education. Next, he ventured on his own as a math mercenary, helping individuals and companies with their math problems. He also become a math influencer by creating a math podcast, discord, and Twitch channel. In 2021, he decided to join forces with the like-minded people at AoPS to help shape the future of education. If he isn't working on programming and math education, Zeke will be playing MTG, chess, basketball, or D&D (really any game/puzzle) or socially engaging in philosophical ideas.
