I like signals other people throw away. By day I wrangle manufacturing data, train cost-prediction models and teach wearables to understand movement. The common thread: taking something noisy and real [factory floors, bank accounts, ankle sensors, the air in my room] and making it make sense.

Away from the keyboard I'm usually exploring: hiking somewhere green, hunting down light installations after dark, or adding one more specimen to a slowly growing mineral collection. I just like building stuff — software, circuits, furniture, whatever's in reach.
