About

I love bug fixing and problem solving. I'm not afraid of the hard work needed to build a path to something valuable, but I'm less then enthusiastic about treadmills. I'm a collaborator. I think and learn out loud and so benefit greatly from folks devoted to building a great team, a team ready to listen and happy to communicate. I want to be challenged. I strive to win and I know no one wins alone. We're living in the beginning of the machine learning age, where information technology is shaping the world more and more. Regretfully, great technology does not often drive us naturally towards social equality. People have to step in and push.
