Bio

I grew up in New England, lived in Virginia near DC, New York City (Manhattan and Queens), and now reside in Massachusetts northwest of Boston.

I studied Cognitive Science at UMass Amherst, where I began teaching (Philosophy, Rhetoric, Programming with Python, and coaching Mock Trial) at NorthStar, and doing a little FOSS on the side.

Since then I’ve taught (philosophy for children, improv), worked (software engineering, management, and consulting), and performed (comedy & theater).

I work in software engineering full time, and do some advising, writing, and career coaching on the side.
