Originally from Dayton, Ohio, I earned a Bachelorβs degree magna cum laude in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University in 2018 and a Masterβs degree with distinction in Computer Science from the University of Oxford in 2019. Since December 2019 Iβve worked remotely from New York City for Zoomi, Inc, a research-driven AI learning platform. I started as a data scientist on the Advanced Research team, became Lead AI Engineer, and am now Head of AI: I own the AI and product roadmap, lead our major client relationships, and manage delivery, and I still work hands-on in design and code. My earlier research applied machine learning to problems created by the algorithms people meet online every day, from classifying satire and βfake newsβ to explaining algorithmic profiles.
About the logo
In the upper left hand corner and on the tab, thereβs a symbol that looks a bit like a capital βAβ. This is from Linear A, an ancient language used by the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete almost 4000 years ago. This language has not yet been deciphered, despite success in a younger derivative language (Linear B). The study of ancient languages was a partial basis for early cryptography efforts in the UK which, through Bletchley Park, eventually led to modern computing. Iβm optimistic that computing can return the favor by advancing our understanding of the ancient world by, for instance, shedding light on Linear A. I chose this particular symbol as it contains all three letters in my initials (A, T, H).
Linear B, on the other hand, can be read and written: see your name in Linear B.
