My Interests
I love to climb, hike, surf, anything that is physical! I'm also very into Artificial Intelligence (I don't believe in SkyNet, by the way). AI can greatly augment and accelerate the creation process. One of my deepest dreams is to train computers to reduce developer time to create an application eventually, to zero. I'm also a toolsmith. Over the years I have organized a wealth of modules and utilities. Today I can snap together applications in a fraction of the time it once took with every new project comes the eagerness to forge another tool for my collection. I am passionate about Education Here is my ideal school: student directed, projected based, games and programming focused. We will promote a growth mindset and a culture of abundance, and we will tightly couple learning and classroom activities with industry and revenue in the real world.
