This is my personal website, and I write about all sorts of stuff here. I’m not just an data scientist. I’m a real person with varied interests.

• I’m passionate about living in peace :heart:
• I love to read – epic fantasy, non-fiction, poetry…I read it
• I play the viola and bass guitar, badly
• I pretend to like running (It’s working, I still go out there)
• I love my dog…and my cat (RIP)
• I like math jokes, Monty Python, D&D, etc.
• I try to grow plants that can feed my family
• I ride a bike and walk to do things
• I finally won NaNoWriMo in 2023 (now for editing)
