  Software developer, community photographer and wanderer between worlds.

  1990s: graduate student in Physics, wrote Java applets before Java 1.0, studied wavepacket mechanics, Hamiltonian chaos and classical-quantum correspondence in systems with large spins as well as the statistics of the sound of crumpling paper

  2000s: Green Party activist and volunteer at an alternative dispute resolution clinic.

  Software developer, sysadmin, planner and communicator for hundreds of web sites in e-publishing and e-commerce including: arXiv.org, e-business systems for car dealerships, wineries and a pallet recycling company, decision support systems for sales territory assignment, a collaborative visual editor for knowledge graphs, a social network for a secret society, a rich metadata database for the global performing arts with hundreds of Postgres tables that we should have built in RDF

  2010s: Searched for a breakthough in natural language understanding involving knowledge graphs, world knowledge, symbolic reasoning, reasoning over uncertainty, as well as autoencoder, LSTM, GRU and convolutional neural networks. Frequent speaker at conferences.

  Developed a similarity metric for generic concepts (people, places, creative works, ...), a search engine for patents powered by a neural network, conversion of Freebase to an RDF graph with perfect referential integrity, an automatically curated collection of more than 1 million images of thousands of topics, and numerous prototype intelligent data processing systems.

  I served on a committee researching the application of OWL, RDF and other semantic web concepts to the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard which culminated in the publication of ISO/TR 22126-2:2025 "OWL representation of the ISO 20022 metamodel and e-repository"

  2020s: Full-stack software developer for the longest running public opinion data archive. Community photographer , pagan and hard-working therianthrope.
