Storj: Decentralized Cloud Storage
Presented Storj at Hedgeable’s ‘Bitcoin: No Boundaries’ event in NYC.
I’m a seasoned engineer, technology leader, and architect with a 10+ year track record of success at transformative startups in the healthcare, AI, cryptocurrency, and nonprofit industries. I focus on creating software which will have a tangible, positive impact on society. I’m presently Head of Data at Reify Health and Head of Data Science & Analytics at Care Access, where we are building solutions to connect and empower the global clinical trial ecosystem. I was Co-founder/CTO at Wade & Wendy, a conversational AI recruiting company acquired by Veritone through PandoLogic. I was an early Core Developer and whitepaper author at Storj, a decentralized cloud storage network using Ethereum, and Lead Developer at Harmony Labs, where we used data science to measure and support the positive impact of media systems on society. Additionally, I was the founding technologist at the award-winning National Museum of Mathematics in NYC.
I’m deeply interested in complex systems science, emergent behavior, and distributed or decentralized systems and have published work on genetic stigmergy, a biologically-inspired algorithm that supports self-organization of robotic swarms. My interest in biologically-inspired systems also led me to study permaculture design with Andrew Faust.
My stack of choice usually has some mix of Clojure, ClojureScript, Golang, Python, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS.
I fervently enjoy karaoke, swimming, rowing, and making my daughters laugh.
