About me

I am a software engineer and mathematician. I studied mathematics at University of Florida and Dartmouth College. I have done work in algorithmic randomness, research computing, and experimental mathematics. I've worked in industry for 8 years, focused on delivering large-scale platforms for research, instrumentation, visualization, and experiments to enterprise customers. I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in 2018. For more about my software and research, see my personal website.

My work

I serve as the technical lead of the Product Data Engineering team, a member of the Product Infrastructure Team, and an honorary member of the Product Analytics Team. I am responsible for the Product Analytics Infrastructure Working Group, focused on fulfilling the engineering goals of the Foundation's Better Use of Data Program.
