What I'm looking for:

A project that inspires me; something I believe in, working with clever people, and the potential to make money.

If you think you might want me on your team, I'd be interested to talk.

  • What I'm into

    Paragliding, skiing, diving, mountaineering, skydiving, triathlon(ing?), parenting, DIY, military history, UI, AI, clouds (fluffy), the cloud (IOT), cycling, and making money... (in no particular order); facing my fears, doing stuff that motivates me, and that makes me think.
