BIO
I'm a technical founder building Drifting in Space. My career has straddled the line between engineering and data science, with stints at Google as a software engineer on search, Two Sigma as a quantitative analyst, and botnet detection at an adtech startup. I'm originally from Halifax, Canada, currently based in Brooklyn, and love running, sailing, and exploring new cities.
