Engineering & Strategy

I bounce across topics as a problem solver, currently focusing on engineering at X, The Moonshot Factory. My work spans the gamut from optimizing ML compute infrastructure and driving AI tool adoption to shaping high-level business strategy for moonshot projects.

Non-profit Leadership

I believe in contributing time and energy back into the community. Over the years, I've had the privilege of serving on the boards and leading the following incredible organizations:

• Rise Up! 94965 Foundation
  President. Empowering students in the 94965 zip code through educational initiatives and community support.
• N95DECON
  Former Secretary. An open-source, scientific consortium for data-driven study of N95 respirator decontamination during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Echo Lakes Association
  Former President. Preserving the environmental health and community of Echo Lakes, California.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Advocacy

Active transportation is a literal vehicle for physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and environmental responsibility. In many places, these world-changing modes of transportation take a distant back seat to automobiles when it comes to infrastructure investment, maintenance, and public planning. I am an advocate for safe streets for all.

Photography

Some amateur photographers are incredibly creative. Others are highly skilled. Others just take lots of photos and hope for the best. I am mostly in the latter camp. Spending time outside and in out-of-the-ordinary situations occasionally creates unique opportunities to capture striking visuals of the world around us.
