Achievements
I led the team that built/maintained a product used by 7% of the global population each month (Facebook Groups).
I'm published in academic journals for human-robot interaction and for discovering a chemical defense mechanism in ants.
I once placed 4th in a cooking contest by making chocolate-covered bacon. It looked better than it tasted.
