Extracurricular Activities

Outside of work, I nurture nerdy hobbies like learning about typesetting, tailoring, and other topics. My partner E. and I care for our dog Hamish, and enjoy good food and whisky (for which I founded an appreciation society in Pittsburgh in 2013; E. is the former president of the Edinburgh University Water of Life Society).
