I'm a distributed systems researcher and site reliability engineer who makes robots, AIs, and more _
Today, I'm the Founder/CEO of Alicorn Systems.
In the past, I've worked with the teams behind Wayfair, Onshape, Micronaut, OpenDDS, and even the US military. Long ago, I founded and led world champion robotics teams.
When I'm not making things, I'm researching them: I've received two fellowships, an NSF grant, and a US patent for my work on robot swarms and tokenless blockchains.
In my free time, I enjoy making art and writing about what I've learned from making things.
