About
I like solving challenging systems problems. I enjoy combining mathematical, historic, geographic, and cultural context to analyze and predict the behaviour of large human systems. I also get excited about enabling access to technology for low opportunity populations, which is an initiative that hits home for me. Let me know if this interests you as well.
