I recently moved to Toronto and am hoping to meet new people and make lasting friendships in my new city.

My interests are philosophy, mathematics, computer science, international politics, economic development, slow-burning films, cameras, and mechanical timepieces.

I like fine dining, fine wines and the various other indulgences, but I also like unpacking ideas and philosophies into the wee hours, and would like to meet people equally capable of hopping from the fun and frivolous to the deep and mysterious.

I am fascinated by the inscrutability of existence and the subjective experience. I am resigned to my own probable insignificance, but am nonetheless captivated by where my journey will take me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many amazing things have happened to me, but I don't know how much credit I can claim for them. The more amazing the experience, the less instrumental I feel that I was in it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied biochemistry and mathematics in university.

I worked for more than a decade in the tech industry, but have since retired.

I was a Technical Director in Software Engineering. I have expertise in writing operating systems, real time programming, DSP, and wireless technologies.

I am currently taking courses for personal interest in neural networks, machine learning, and philosophy.
