About

I’m a retired Software Engineer. I grew up in Toronto and I’ve been programming since sixth grade and really enjoy digging into ideas with computers. I’ve worked at Meta, and been the Artificial Intelligence Lead at Rockstar Games New England. Before that I was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT, first at the Artificial Intelligence Lab, then at the Media Lab. And before that I was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute.  I currently live in Lexington, MA, USA.
