I used to spend my days as a Senior Research Scientist at Google, working on projects centered around using technology for positive social impact, primarily in the developing world. But I’ve been around the block a few times. Before that, I did research in Machine Learning, and helped create the sub-field of Active Learning.

Recruiters: thanks, I’m flattered. But I’ve got the third best job on the planet, and I don’t think you’re offering me one of the other two.
