What I’m Up to Now

Hello! Welcome to my now page! This was last updated on July 7th, 2026.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately!

Media

I finally picked up God of War: Ragnarok and I’m absolutely loving it! I’m itching to get back into it whenever I’m not playing it. But since the violence is a bit…graphic, I have to be 100% sure that I’m not going to be bothered by the kiddo. So progress is slower than I’d like!

Right now I’m watching some new seasonal anime. I’m loving the second cour of You and I are Polar Opposites, which is just insanely cute. I just caught up with Witch Hat Attelier and the first cour of Re:Zero, which I enjoy for entirely different reasons.

I’m currently listening to Ben Recht’s book on the places where the standard optimization/prediction paradigms seen in ML fail—and where they succeed.

Athletics

I recently caved and bought a treadmill to be able to handle running in Florida’s insane heat and UV indices. I otherwise wasn’t able to run unless I went out prior to 6 AM but, with wake-up routines being what they are, that wasn’t happening. So we’ll see if this gets me the distance I’m hoping for.

Learning

I’m working through some ecological modeling stuff which I expect will be useful for work—and for my interests generally. You can follow along with my learning here

Website redesign

I’ve been thinking a lot about how this website looks and functions for me.1 I’ve decided on a redesign plan that leans into the broader Atmosphere so I can own my data from across the web and feature it here. I want the website to be a real home on the ’net for me.

Work

In my day job, I’m a data scientist on the global strategy and insights team at Universal Destinations and Experiences. (So, the theme parks^[No it’s not the same owner as Disney. We’re a different multibillion dollar subsidiary of a multibillion dollar subsidiary., not the movie company.)

On nights and weekends, I fight crime dressed as an oversized arachnid work at the statistical/research consultancy I own called Technites. It’s from the Greek for “artisans” because I believe that research is, fundamentally, an art. And I want to partner with people looking to understand and do good and interesting things in the world with research.
