What an honor to have gone from desperately seeking funding to having a NIH F31 and NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship two years later. I’m still in shock

Woohoo! I finally got a conference award ribbon! #SNL2025

How does language shape the way we think about space? 🧠🦬
Take part in my Ph.D. study on spatial cognition & ASL.
~45 min online (US adults 18+), optional EEG in DC. $25/hour for your time!

Can you travel through space & time?(cognitively, of course 😉)
Join our study on language & navigation. Start online now; DC/NoVA/MD folks can add a short EEG visit later.

As a present to myself after fracturing my skull I got a Labubu monster. I somehow ended up with a secret one after a random rest stop purchase!

Spatial cognition?
Decision-making under pressure?
Ball tracking?

That’s Apollo’s job. I just run the models.

(Yes, that’s a custom Mets jersey. No, I don’t have chill.)

Oh, and about those spreads? Yeah, I had those mapped out too. Maybe it’s time someone puts this data engineering brain to work where it really counts… perhaps for a certain Queens-based team that could use some next-level predictive modeling? 👀⚾️ @mets.com #LGM

Ran the numbers last week. Today? Super Bowl predictions looking pretty spot on. 📊🏈 If you’re hiring sports data engineers, let’s talk—I bring predictive modeling, Python/R, and the ability to forecast outcomes with uncanny accuracy. #SportsAnalytics #DataEngineering #HireMe

Dopamine? Oxytocin? Serotonin? Whatever the best neurochemical cocktail is, watching the Puppy Bowl with my mini bernedoodle just maxed it out.

Apollo’s mirror neurons are FIRING—fully immersed in the Puppy Bowl action!

A real-time study in canine social cognition and competitive spirit. (Also, his game analysis is already more insightful than some human commentators.)
