<p>By day I'm a mild-mannered coder, slinging apps into the cloud as DevSecOps for multiple development teams. But by night, I keep the city safe by dabbling in machine learning, crypto, robotics, and data science. 
<span style="display:none">I also <a href="{{ site.url }}/consulting/">volunteer</a> on projects which interest me.</span></p>
