Work
I'm a software engineer with a background in math, data science (stats, machine learning, etc). I especially enjoy building tools to make quantitative users' work more effective and fun.
These days I'm Director of Product Engineering for Coiled, which helps folks use Dask in the cloud.
Play
A few years ago I learned to race sailboats at Boston Community Boating (CBI), on the Charles River. I serve as Vice Commodore of CBI's Tiller Club, which organizes racing on most Sundays from April through October.
In the winter (and sometimes in the summer) I race in Boston Harbor at Courageous Sailing Center.
A few things I've made
- R Package for Average Predictive Comparisons: Complicated ML/stats models will often fit your data better than simple ones, but it's harder to understand what they're telling you. This is a stab at implementation Andrew Gelman's concept of Average Predictive Comparisons.
- Website for Knitters: This is useful for something some knitters do called "planned pooling". It gets about 1000 unique visitors per month.
- Harmonograph Simulation: This simulates a 3-pendulum harmograph using d3. There are lots of settings you can play with to make different shapes.
