I was that kid, who carried a video camera around interviewing my neighbors. I got my first legit journalism job soon after graduating from Georgetown University, updating the homepage in the middle of the night for washingtonpost.com.

Since then, I’ve been fortunate to land a vast array of staff roles in the ever-shifting news industry. This has included: NYT breaking news reporter, NYT science editor, NYT international news producer, NYT travel reporter, NPR multimedia producer, Slate photo editor, Slate tech writer and MSNBC-affiliated politics editor.

I’m particularly proud of my reporting on the ethically fraught ways that DNA tech is changing criminal investigations. This resulted in multiple front-page stories for The New York Times, a series for the Daily podcast and presentations at legal conferences. I’m also proud of the many ways I helped push the New York Times science section forward as a “digital deputy.” (Ever read Trilobites? I created that column.)

In the past couple of years, I’ve enjoyed delving into AI ethics as a reporter and analyst. My work for Slate on this topic has been cited by The Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, among other outlets.

I live with my wife and daughter in Brooklyn.
