Projects

I like solving problems that pull at my curiosity. Building things lets me explore new ideas, tinker with systems, and understand the world a little better while also sharing my view of it. You'll see traces of the things I love scattered across these projects: language, distributed systems, machine learning, football, and art. If something catches your attention, tell me, I'd love to hear about it!
