I'm an engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For about a decade I've helped companies build data infrastructure, warehouses, and APIs, usually the one arguing for the boring solution.
Lately I've been spending time on consumer AI, mostly how regular people get good information when the other side knows more than they do.
Away from code I ride, shoot landscapes, and write, mostly as @brownlittlefish.
