Whether it is developing software that billions of customers use, or it is building software that generates millions of dollars in revenue, I love solving problems that are seemingly unsolvable and have a significant impact across various disciplines. I like to think of life as a non-deterministic finite state machine, and that each state transition provides an opportunity to learn, innovate, and make a difference.
In my free time, I experiment with technologies, provide technical consultation, and serve as a technical reviewer for computer science conferences and journals. When I am not working, I am usually found in the outdoors either biking or exploring the nature on trails with my dog.
