About

i love data. i have spent 15 years working with all forms of data, in different fields ranging from medicine to journalism. i like to keep up with recent advancements in the modern data stack and the ai/llm space.

outside of work and hobby work, i enjoy cooking savory food, running long distances, and spending time with family.
