Howdy!

A Bit About Me

Howdy! I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2024 and took a job with the Philadelphia Phillies, where I work as a Lead Quantitative Analyst in the Pitching Research department. I’m an expert in Bayesian modeling, with a focus on continuous state-space models & efficient inference.

You can check out my Goodreads, Letterboxd, and Strava for intermittent life updates, or tab on over to Life Updates for a “what I’m up to” refresh. I currently live in Philadelphia near Rittenhouse Square.

Current Recommendations

• You Can See Everything (dir. Lance Oppenheim): An excellent Nathan Fielder documentary debut starring Elizabeth Holmes & two Elizabeth Holmes impersonators (Billy Evans & Amanda Seyfried).

• Flesh (David Szalay): A book about modern masculinity that isn’t insufferable; sparse dialogue and distinct chapters that each feel like a self contained short story make it extremely readable.

• Intermezzo (Sally Rooney): Two depressed Irish brothers – a lawyer and a chess prodigy – mope, muddle through, and eventually sort their lives out. I’m a total sucker for Rooney’s authorial style generally, and the romances in this one are enthralling.

• Defector: The best blogs on the Internet, here.

• FanGraphs: The best baseball blog site on the Internet; the best baseball blogger’s on Substack at Pebble Hunting here.

• The Peter Shamshiri cinematic universe: Podcasts If Books Could Kill & 5-4 along with his blog, String in a Maze.
