About me
I make hard ideas feel easy, and easy to touch.
I'm a Principal Engineer building Gen AI at Microsoft, and the AI/ML EMEA Community Lead. I was a Microsoft Regional Director from 2018 to 2020. This site is my playground for explorable explanations, where you learn a concept by messing with it, not by reading about it.
