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.

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.

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.

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.
