I'm an AI engineer who's worked across the data stack, from data pipelines to production models. Most recently, I built a system healthcare providers use to personalize and measure care for folks living with chronic disease. I love reading history, especially the genealogy of ideas we take for granted. I backcountry ski, trad climb, and ride bikes. Right now, I'm on a sabbatical doing all three.
