Technology leader with 15+ years of experience spanning data science, software engineering, technical support, manual labor, and therapeutic practices. Combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to open knowledge, collaborative problem-solving, and supporting diverse teams through both professional and personal growth. Passionate about creating tools and environments that serve people while upholding principles of justice, accessibility, and shared understanding.
My journey reflects a consistent thread: learning through doing, sharing knowledge openly, and building systems that empower rather than constrain. From bicycle repair to data science platforms, the work has always been about understanding how things work and helping others do the same.
I believe effective leadership emerges from creating conditions where people can grow, contribute meaningfully, and maintain their integrity. My approach is rooted in open knowledge and collaborative problem-solving—but tempered by the pragmatism needed to navigate complex institutions.
Having worked across vastly different domains, I've learned that the best solutions often come from understanding multiple perspectives and creating space for diverse voices. I don't believe in leadership that imposes; I believe in leadership that enables. This means building infrastructure that empowers teams, establishing processes that are both rigorous and humane, and maintaining principles without becoming rigid.
My commitment to open knowledge isn't just technical—it's ethical. I believe understanding should be accessible, systems should be transparent, and technology should serve people rather than constrain them. At the same time, I understand that change happens incrementally, and effective advocacy requires both conviction and diplomacy.
The thread connecting my diverse experiences is a consistent curiosity and desire to understand how things work—whether it's a bicycle drivetrain, a statistical model, or a team dynamic. This curiosity drives me to keep learning, to share what I learn, and to create environments where others can do the same. As times grow increasingly uncertain, I am actively developing my inner warrior—cultivating resilience through martial discipline, therapeutic practice, and principled action—to meet the world with clarity, compassion, and unwavering integrity. I seek leadership roles where I can build systems that protect, serve, and empower people while staying true to these principles.
