Using technology to address real-world problems is what I want to do when I grow up. In the past, I have worked on projects that apply technology to journalism, poverty alleviation, and privacy.

Traveling, cooking, hiking, and reading have been my main pastimes of late. I am much better at traveling than I am at cooking. Following international politics is my guilty pleasure.

New Haven, Connecticut is my home base and I left my heart in San Francisco.
