Welcome to my home page!

I am Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I am interested in sustainability — specifically, I work to empower communities to make better decisions in pursuit of a more sustainable future. I do this by building new tools for creating and communicating knowledge and by training the next generation of technical knowledge workers.

In my spare time, I enjoy bicycling, reading, hiking and backpacking (especially in the mountains and deserts of the American West), tinkering and building things, and general hacking and programming.
