I got a PhD in computational biology, then I decided that I didn't really want to be a scientist. So I went back into sofware.

(I've seen some stuff. I was an early engineer at Justin.tv an engineer at Yelp.com doing "data science" before the term was invented, and most recently, I was fortunate enough to be able to start a couple of startups. Sadly, neither one worked out, but I've learned a lot in the process. Ask me if you have any questions!)

Other goals that have been haunting me, in no particular order:

1) Speak a non-english language fluently (working on it; conversational in Japanese)

2) Live outside the US (check!)

3) Create at least one publicly exhibited work of art.

You can contact me at timaro on gmail.
