I'm a generalist software engineer, functional programming & math enthusiast, ski bum, rock climber, plant dad, jazz
pianist, language geek, occasional blogger, and
data
science dilettante.
writing infrequent blog posts, mostly about tech content, tech-adjacent content, and
occasionally my Thoughts
& Feelings
Here are some things I'm into
functional programming in whatever language will let me get away with it
compilers and formal verification
programming languages and human languages
natural language processing, deep learning, and data science
running, biking, and playing sports (mostly ultimate frisbee and tennis, but I also like soccer and basketball)
skiing, rock climbing, and hiking
playing, writing, and producing music (mostly jazz, some electronic)
Here's some stuff I've done
worked on OSS libraries for functional Scala and did several software consulting gigs (largely focused on
data
pipelines and distributed systems) @ 47
Degrees
curated a weekly reading list of articles and papers (on hiatus in 2021, this was
mostly a 2020 pandemic hobby)
spent 5 years @ Qualtrics, where I worked on distributed systems, observability
infrastructure, and test tooling & infrastructure
studied physics, computer science, mathematics, and music at Whitman College
played a lot of jazz piano and sang a lot of a cappella
