I am a technology executive. In 2006 I became the first Director of Open Source Strategy in the history of Microsoft. Presently I am a Principal AI Strategist at IBM following its acquisition of DataStax, a company built on Apache Cassandra.
I am a writer. Presently I am working on a book with the working title The Fierce Urgency of Dual Intelligence: How to future-proof thinking for a living in the new era of AI. The introduction explains why.
I am a musician. Hard Times Hundred and One is my project to create 101 original Americana songs inspired by photographs from the Great Depression. You can find me on Spotify and other streaming services or my website.
I am an activist. I have volunteered my time to support fairer taxes, housing justice, and community policing.
