What’s New?¶

It’s a new year with new goals! I’m still weighing all my options: work, school, other work... plenty to consider regarding where and how much of my time to spend on what. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues and pursuing new challenges for sure, but will likely take it a bit easier than I did last year. I hope everyone is off to a great start in 2026!

As always, all of my work professionally and academically is kept as open-source as possible. To find my papers, blogs, classes, and other projects, check out my GitHub.
