When not learning new languages or programming
GIS collaboration
applications for the communal augmented reality game Ingress,
you can often find me on my bicycle, engaging in the my take on the
hallowed road trip, be it local or global. Most recently in 2016 I
spent 7 months on a
15,000km bike trip across
Russia and Europe, the most recent additions to my roster of 18
countries crossed by bike. I also enjoy honing my knowledge and
analytical thinking playing board games and trivia, and cooking tasty
treats for friends and coworkers.
