I'm a physicist, data scientist, and programmer, working in big data analytics tooling.

After finishing a Ph.D in physics, I joined a data science firm, and learned R then Haskell, Scala, and Spark, but fell for PL design as a tool for reforming how big data analytics is performed. I've been slowly working on bringing Icicle up to a viable level for the past 5 years.

Apart from that I'm an old Circus performer, singer, and knitter.
