I'm a writer, applied mathematician, occasional filmmaker, and sincere satirist of silicon valley. I wrote a book about what is lost, when efficiency is gained. My consulting business helps research teams with computational science and strategy (aka data science) in agriculture, climate science, logistics, materials and biosciences. I have some fancypants degrees from fancy schools, and was a professor for a while, but I don't consider myself a fancy person. These days I live mostly in a small rural place where I get to pretend to be a farmer.
