Personal Life
I’m based in Tokyo, where I’ve lived since 2020, though I’m originally from Houston, Texas. I’ve also lived in Arizona, Michigan, England and Singapore.
Outside of data science, my hobbies include taking long city walks while listening to music, fostering cats and kittens, practicing yoga, piano, and improv comedy (not all at the same time), struggling to improve my Japanese, reading sci-fi novels, and making weird art.
