Doing Stuff

I don't really do much.

Interested in/generally like to talk about
• human rights, justice, inclusion
• computer, social, and data sciences
• public stats (think Census data), open data, and civic tech
• visualization and maps
• math esp. analysis, graphs
• puns
• theatre
• SF/F, sometimes other prose or poetry
• also/esp. the overlaps among the above
• cute animal pics, probably of my cats
Past eng @ Twitter ML Ethics/Transparency/Accountability, Google Search, Bloomberg Portfolio Analytics and IBM System Z. 🏳️‍🌈

Debris from the Twitterspora. Online for news and social justice. Once upon a time I was online for science, psych, tech, cooking, critters, and creative stuff.
I boost a LOT-turn off my boosts if you hate that. No terfs, ACAB, no white supremacy.

now all the old troubles will soon be at an end, and all the new ones will begin

I like functional programming, collecting arxiv pdfs, trying to grok Topos Theory for years, and turning tedious problems into interesting math problems. I also like meditation and consciousness and Self Growth but am deeply suspicious of others who share this interest, in a Groucho Marxian sense

Details of my psychodrama are unimportant but fwiw I try to minimize being That Guy across a variety of dimensions
