Work philosophy
Data-driven
If it can't be measured, I'll find a way to measure it. If it can be measured, I'll make a spreadsheet about it.
Ship fast
Perfect is the enemy of deployed. I'd rather iterate on something real than plan something imaginary.
Open source
Most of my work is public. Reproducible research requires open code and open data.
