Time for a new
#introduction
I'm a
#ComputerScience #PhD candidate at the
#University of
#Vermont (
#UVM). There, I'm doing
#AI and
#ALife #research with Josh Bongard and many others. Themes include
#evolution,
#evolvability, innate
#intelligence,
#cells,
#bodies, and
#endosymbiosis.
I believe
#science should be open and accessible, so I write about my ideas on a
#Wordpress #blog, review relevant
#books on
#Goodreads, and publish my source code on
#Github (links in my profile).
I'm passionate about
#diversity,
#socialjustice,
#sustainability,
#ethics,
#philosophy, and all things
#tech. In my personal life, I love
#food,
#cooking,
#reading,
#yoga,
#hiking,
#art, and
#StarTrek.
I worked for many years on
#Google #Search as a
#software #engineer,
#techlead, and
#manager. I used to be proud of that, but lately I have concerns.
My favorite
#programming language is
#Python, but I know many more, and lately have been quite enjoying
#CUDA #GPU programming in
#cplusplus.
