I'm a former academic with a Ph.D. in astrophysics from UC Berkeley. I am passionate about data visualization, predictive analytics, and effective communication of complex ideas to a broad audience. I am a strong supporter of transparency in government, open-source software, and the open science framework.

I live in the Wissahickon neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, with my wife, young daughter, and rescue dog.
