I'm an engineer and writer who you may have seen talking about politics, computers, or why the world is on fire. You won't see me too much on YouTube, but you'll see my writing anywhere you search for my name. Today, I'm Chief Ethics Officer and Distinguished Engineer at humu.com, working on finding ways to make people's daily lives at work better.
Are you wondering why I have a checkmark? It's because I used to be Chief Architect of Social for Google -- essentially, the guy who handled all the really messy technical and policy problems. Back when Google+ and YouTube were connected, we shared checkmarks, and since I was a very visible presence on that site, it carried over here. But don't worry, I won't abuse my INCREDIBLE VERIFIED USER POWERS BWAHAHAHA.
