Data engineer at SilverRide, working across Azure and AWS to help older adults get where they need to go. Former film colorist with IMDb credits and author of The Spring of Sight, a book about computer vision and where it's taking us as a society.

I use Cursor but am thinking to transition to pure Claude Code.

Python, Node/TypeScript, SQL + NoSQL, event-driven compute, Terraform, Docker, and teamwork

I like cycling, urban mobility, and community maker spaces. I moved from Brooklyn to Seattle with my wife and two cats and I've been meaning to revitalize my Flickr. When I'm not perfecting biga pizza dough or cold-brewing 3L of medium-light roast, I'm playing Arc Raiders, tinkering with IoT hardware, or (in warmer months) backpacking and rock climbing.

I write about backpacking in the Olympics, MLOps meetups, entrepreneurship notes, and other things on my blog. Longer-form technical work lives on my projects page.
