I love the small things in life: writing code with my cat trying to lay across the keyboard, knit and crochet projects as my cats attack the end of the yarn, cooking and baking while trying to keep the cats of the counter... Okay, so it's mostly just my cats. But I also love the big things, like solving humanitarian challenges with code and data science, the enormous possibilities through machine learning, and life's most persistent question, what really is progressive metal?
