There are lots of things you can say about yourself on an About page but I’ll tell you briefly that in 2016, I quit my job as a doctor (specifically, training to be a surgeon), which was the most important decision I have made about anything (so far) and has shaped much of my adult life.

These days, I work for Google, doing my best to make Search results for health information more useful for you and other people.

Outside of work, I enjoy nonstrenuous nature walks, spending time with people who are important to me, spending time on the internet, tinkering with almost anything, riding my bicycle, being indoors, being outdoors, and many other things and activities.

A disclaimer that makes this feel more important than it actually is, but is true nonetheless: anything I say here represents my personal opinion and perspective only, not those of any of current, past, or future employers.
