Biography

I've been a software developer for over 30 years, working for a variety of startups as well as large companies like IBM and Visa. I currently
work as the systems/data architect at The Global Disinformation Index, a non-profit with the goal of identifying and defunding misinformation. Developing data-intensive systems has been the focus of most of my career. In the last few years, I've also focused on mentoring and teaching many of my colleagues, so I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to be teaching students about Data Engineering.
