Interests

I think a lot about things like:

• the mechanics of good collaboration
• balancing acts between growth and stability
• overlaps of art and technology
• how learning happens
• why human intuition would still be worth cultivating even if machines were able to do everything 😉

Motivations

While I've always enjoyed puzzles and figuring out how things work ("the process"), I'm equally motivated by the desire to solve real-world problems ("the outcome"). I felt drawn to the engineering discipline for both, and for the variety of areas where the skills might apply.

Anything that benefits a large swath of people and/or other Earth-bound life forms is appealing to me. Such as:

• climate change, green energy, sustainability
• security and threat detection
• non-meat proteins
• healthcare access and quality
• good education for everyone who wants it
