I work on Generative AI at Meta, where I spend a lot of time thinking about training data.
When I'm not doing that, I'm usually trying to get lost in the wilderness. I camp, hike, find things to drive over, and spend a fair amount of time getting to out of the way places to photograph them.

Previous eras
At Figma and Sprig, I found myself in a variety of data science roles from 2014-2017.
At Adobe and Pocket Pixels, I worked on a number of projects in the early days of mobile photography from 2011-2014.
At Dolby and BrightSide, prior to their acquisition, I worked on high dynamic range displays from 2004-2009.
My Ph.D. is in image processing and human visual perception at University of British Columbia, from 2003-2012.

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information...
