./about

I'm an engineer who got curious about people and never recovered.

My work sits at the intersection of machine learning, simulation, network science, and NLP, usually asking how the structure of social systems shapes what people come to believe.

I use models the way a physician uses anatomy: not to predict the future, but to think clearly about mechanism.
