Businessperson, Programmer, and Applied Economist. My passion is to find innovations where the fields of Economics, Finance, Mathematics, and Technology intersect.

I am a full stack developer and DevOps professional with true end-to-end experience. I designed and currently maintain a distributed computing system using tools like Scala, Spark, Hadoop, Mesos, Cassandra, and Zookeeper. I have also designed and continue to develop front-end web tools using tools like Play, Akka, Node, React, and JavaScript.

Building on more than a decade of research experience, I founded a company in 2018 offering artificial intelligence-based solutions with a focus on interpretability and understandability. Artificial Intelligence is poised to be a truly transformational technology, but if the humans using that tool can't understand the 'why' behind the answers then it is of little use to anyone.
