I get to solve really interesting problems every day.

I have moved around a lot! After college and law school in the US, I worked for a law firm for a few years. I then moved to Germany, where I learned German and did legal research on both German and US laws. I then worked in the law department of different companies in Germany, the US and London. I did payments law at Amazon and at eBay.

I want to keep solving hard problems - they are the most fun. I also have been meaning to learn Italian for the past 5 years, and I want to get around to doing it!

I like swimming outside the whole year. I swim in ponds and rivers and lakes and the ocean, even in the winter, though I don't stay in as long.
