I’m an applied AI and data engineer in Seattle and a graduate of the University of Washington’s Master of Science in Data Science program.
I build AI features into products and the data platforms that power them. Right now, that's school software for Tanzanian institutions, a safari operator's booking and back-office systems, and a college basketball analytics platform. Away from the desk, I'm usually on a bike or out on a long run.
I’m building school software for Tanzanian institutions, from primary schools through postgraduate. Every school grades differently, fees are structured differently at every level, and the government wants its reports in a particular shape. The AI in it reads a class's marked work and picks the follow-up exercises from the questions they got wrong, and it pseudonymises pupils before a request leaves the country.
My college basketball project. I rebuilt it on a much simpler model after working out that the old one had been leaking for a season, and I’m getting it ready for November.
How I rebuilt a Tanzania-based operator's web presence as a marketing site and a real back-office, with Claude wired into the admin screens where the operator actually works.
A case study from one summer building an AI system inside a Microsoft-native enterprise.
The accuracy figure on my March Madness platform was leaking. What it took to notice, months after I had published it.
Musicians take their earplugs out because their instrument sounds wrong through them. Two in-browser hearing tests measure how a given pair changes what you hear, and the platform filters your own recordings to match. A University of Washington capstone with the UT Dallas NOISE Lab.
Raw event logs that took around ten seconds to query, turned into tables that answer the same five business questions in under a second. A graduate course capstone (DATA 516) on synthetic data.
I watch an unreasonable amount of it. Seahawks, Mariners, college basketball, Manchester United, and most of whatever else happens to be on.
Running, biking, and long walks. Mostly this is how I get away from a screen for a couple of hours.
There is usually something I am partway through, and a longer list of things people keep telling me to watch.
I’m always happy to talk about technology, ideas, or whatever you’re building.
I also work with teams now and then on AI and software problems. If you’re building something and think I could help, say hello.
