About

I am a software engineer, manager, and bowl turner in the Pacific Northwest. I’m an alumnus of the University of Washington and my current position is Director of Engineering at the Allen Institute for AI.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking in the Cascades, kayaking through the San Juans, turning wooden bowls, and living the island life on Whidbey Island.
