About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Gentleman scientist and dandy.

I hold a Ph.D. in machine learning (artificial intelligence), but most people think I'm an artist when they first meet me.

I am hypersocial.

Seb Paquet wrote the following to me:
"From where I stand, you
* carry an aura of mystery
* are on some kind of self-expression / aesthetic quest - clothes, music, etc.
* have a thing going on for machines, programming, and machine learning
* are children of the eighties who carry the entrepreneurial gene
* take parties and nightlife seriously
* are unwilling to let someone else decide for you what is Good"

I think that about sums it up.
