What I am looking for now

My deepest motivation is to build software that save time and energy or has a meaningful impact on someone else's life.

I am currently most interested in recent work around LLM's, massaging insights out of big data, or any company that is working to solve the coming climate crisis.

If you found your self here and meet one those criteria, I really want to talk to you.

My Background

I have always loved building things. When I was a kid, build and create were my two favorite words. I have loved computers and what they can do for as long as I can remeber. I have been surrounded by computers for just as long. It only seemed the next logical step to use my knowledge about computers to build things. I believe that software exists to help people. It is supposed to make life easier, save time, help us keep our sanity. In a world of ever increasing complexity and busy-ness I strive to create things that help people live better, easier lives.
