About Me

Husband, father, itinerant fool. Mistakenly and sometimes purposely off the tracks.

I enjoy — depth psychology, syncro-mysticism, meditation, movement, music that hits hard, herbalism, gardening, D&D with my kids, fetch with my dog — pretending I’m good at martial arts, surfing, and being fluent in animals, plants, and rocks.

I’m an engineering manager at Headspace. Before that, mobile engineering across design, wearables, and IoT. Another lifetime ago, a researcher at the University of Cape Town, untangling how people share, present themselves, and make meaning through mobile technologies.
