Roboticist. Sometime tennis player and photographer.
I deploy robots to places humans prefer not to be. The day job pays for the tennis and the photography.
Work posts will stay light — I'd rather not turn this into another LinkedIn feed. If you want a peek at what the job actually looks like, here's a day in the life. Travel and photography are looser territory. I'm on planes a lot for work and sometimes by choice, and when I've remembered the camera, the battery, and the SD card, I usually come back with something worth posting.
