I split my time between spreadsheets and swim caps. By day I work through tax returns and client books; in the evenings I'm deep in a research project on explainable machine learning for tax risk detection. Before sunrise, most days, I'm in the water at the local rock pool — it's the only part of the day that asks nothing of me.

I write under BareDraft when I need to say something honest that doesn't fit in a spreadsheet.
