passions I code around

• climate change activism - Currently, I am an Head of Engineering at NewAtlantis Labs, a team dedicated to merging omics-led science, AI, and innovative financial models to support Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). I also helped to build the website for ClimateVoice, an advocacy organization to go #AllinonClimate and built a few climate GitHub applications through Protea.earth, a working group for climate change.
• databases - Our team @ DigitalOcean built the managed databases product (DBaaS) to make it easy to set up and scale SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases (10+ team members).
• digital health - I'm a strong believer that software can eat healthcare a bit more to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs; it's our responsibility to make the healthcare transition toward web 3.0 move faster.
• diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) - I strongly believe software can help improve accessibility and lessen biases, so if I can contribute to any DEI-related projects you are working on please let me know.
• life hacking - I generally am looking for hacks to be more productive, so you may find me releasing some code to automate my daily routine and/or send and respond to emails.
• machine learning - I built Allie, an agile ML framework (90+ stars) - I'm always looking to open source useful machine learning models and teach others machine learning who want to learn.
• new media formats - I'm fascinated about creating new forms of art and media formats through software -- for example, computer generated poetry.
• quantum computing - I co-founded QuForce.org, a community for quantum computing enthusiasts.
• stock trading - I like to do automated stock trading or portfolio analysis, so I may release some projects in the open source community soon.
• voice computing - I wrote a book in voice computing and I've mentored 40+ fellows in voice computing through our innnovation fellows program.
• web 3.0 - As a full-stack developer, I'm particularly excited about helping to build Web 3.0 at the intersection of voice computing, blockchain, NFTs, machine learning, gamification, virtual reality, and quantum computing.
