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, ultimately I'm motivated by real-world problems, and the potential of technology to help solve them.

Some areas I'd be especially excited to work in:

  • climate change, green energy, sustainability
  • security and threat detection
  • non-meat proteins
  • healthcare access and quality
  • good education for everyone who wants it
  • generally, anything that improves the functioning of a real-world system that stands to benefit a large swath of people and/or other Earth-bound life forms
