About

Leading teams, learning data

I lead IT teams day to day, and outside of that I've been building a second set of skills in data analysis and data science — from statistical modeling and forecasting to machine learning and geospatial visualization. I like the combination: people leadership grounded in the ability to actually dig into the data myself.
