Fun Fact

I'm a published science fiction author.

Passion

I design simple solutions to complex inclusion and sustainability challenges - galvanizing users to be the change they wish to see. What excites me is the avant garde use of technology. Think Saru using GoogleMaps to find his lost home in "Lion."
