About

I'm currently working at Google, helping build AI/ML tools for public sector. I've worn a number of hats in the past, including cybersecurity researcher, computational neuroscientist, healthcare technical manager, financial quant, freelance web developer, and IT consultant. I find writing therapeutic; you can read my musings on my blog. Most articles relate to technical management, with the occasional technical discussion. I also find poi spinning to be a pretty awesome hobby as well.

You can learn more about me on my LinkedIn page.
