About me
A bit more
I specialize in building scalable data infrastructure, bringing order to messy systems, and effectively translating priorities and insights across technical and business needs.
My top values are curiosity, altruism, self-improvement, vulnerability, and integrity. I'm a musician and artist, but also love technical work
and coding.
Issues close to my heart: the housing crisis, urbanism, AI, ML, effective altruism, climate change, and anything that bridges the divide between public policy, tech, and activism.
I live in San Francisco, CA with frequent stops in my former homes in NYC and Bristol, England. In my free time I enjoy making music and art, teaching myself new skills, and meeting new people.
