I love to develop smart tools and applications that help us understand the complicated world around us. 

I have developed software in a wide variety of settings: academia, start-ups, as well as large enterprise environments. I am intrinsically motivated to deliver clear and elegant results, whether in a team or solo, internal or customer-facing.

In practical terms, I: 
• Successfully led engineering at a neurofeedback startup, publishing 3 games for iOS, Android and desktop.
• Single-handedly designed and developed a robust real-time data collection and processing pipeline supporting multiple EEG peripherals.
• Am confident in Python, C#, C++, Matlab and Java. I am well acquainted with common AI/data science libraries such as pandas, Jupyter, scikit-learn, numpy, TensorFlow, PRTools and more.
• Also have years of experience in game development in Unity3D, and with UI frameworks like Pygame, Tkinter and PyQt.

I am excited about what we'll make next!
