I just love a great adventure. All my life I have been pursuing experiences that take me places I've never been before.
I have worn many hats over the course of my life, dabbling in hobbies like lego architecture, filmmaking, theatre, computer software, urban planning, bicycle touring, general aviation, and social dancing. I chose to pursue software as my career, but spend my free time practicing a handful of the other ones. I currently work on autonomous driving at Waymo.
I grew up in Manhattan Beach bred from an engineer-turned-salesman and a graphic designer. I love California, but in 2011 I moved to the East Coast to start college and have been bouncing around the country ever since. I eventually transferred and graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Rice University. I have since lived in Austin, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and now New York City. Most people are not crazy enough to move across the country once, so of course I did it twice.
