My cat, Loki, supervises; he’s an excellent supervisor.
These days, I work as a Principal Software Architect at Dorian where I empower writers to create high quality interactive fiction.
I enjoy computery things:
- game design & development
- artificial intelligence
- graphics
- visualization
- machine learning
- computer vision
- test-driven-development
- computational video & photography
- software architecture & craft
and non-computery things:
- learning
- tabletop game design
- powerlifting
- theatre & film
- writing
- cartoons
- books of all kinds
- storytelling
- playing harmonica
I cofounded and worked as CTO at Tales Inc., and before that, I worked as a NSF Graduate Research Fellow in machine learning, AI, and graphics while studying computer-science at UC-Berkeley. I worked with Netflix on understanding movies and their trailers and with Microsoft Research on automated storytelling tools.
Once upon a time, I was a professional stage actor.
