About

Hi, I’m Brian. I’m a computer scientist living in Sapporo, in the north of Japan. I earned my PhD at Oregon Health and Science University, and I’ve spent the years since building intelligent systems and trying to understand why they behave the way they do, which turns out to be most of the work.

This blog is where I think out loud about four things that refuse to stay in their own lanes: life, language, math, and music.

You can find me on LinkedIn and Freesound.
