About

Much of the work on this site revolves around Conviction Formation Theory, a research project on how convictions arise, stabilize, change, and sometimes fracture.

The question at the bottom of Conviction Formation Theory is this: “How do I judge which standards should guide my actions and beliefs when the more basic standards are unsettled too?” It occupied me for years. Conviction Formation Theory is an attempt to answer this question from within that uncertainty.

I studied anthropology, philosophy, and musicology and graduated with an M.A. My working life then took me into technical fields. Along the way I completed a MicroMasters program in data science, earned a CISSP certification, and began studying mathematics on the side. I now work in technical leadership roles in operations and IT security.
