πŸ§ͺ What I Do (Right Now)

  • πŸ›  MyST Markdown β€” Making Markdown do a PhD’s worth of work.
  • πŸ’» Thebe β€” Put code execution in the browser. Yes, really.
  • ☁️ Living somewhere between the cloud, scientific publishing and computation.

πŸ—Ί Where I Came From

  • Got into analysing signals, images and computer vision in the late 90s.
  • Researched CNNs when all I had was a Pentium.
  • Built GPU tools for geophysics when CUDA was the wild west.
  • Became a CTO because I can draw pictues too. Still shipping code.
  • Get to work with researchers and scientists πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬.
  • Remote since 2013 and still loving it.
  • Geek out regularly on geology and molecular machines.

🧠 Current Brain Space
