I'm a data scientist by occupation and a regular scientist by education. I'm always looking for new domains from which to absorb knowledge, so I can build connections between conceptual areas and synthesize them into unexpected insights. I'm fueled by a lifelong drive to find patterns, to uncover answers, to know. I'm seeking new opportunities to learn, to give back in kind, and to make a positive impact. In my spare time I hike around the lovely trails we're so lucky to have here in the Bay, practice aerial acrobatics, read about paleontology, and hybridize African Violets.
