Welcome to my personal Website. Trained as an economist in the US (UCSD and Purdue) and the UK (LSE), as a jurist (University of Zurich) and as a data scientist (ETH Zurich) in Switzerland, I have had a long career in government, banking, finance, law and compliance. I spent a sabbatical year in Africa doing paleoanthropological fieldwork, training and research in a semi-desert region known as the "Cradle of Humankind" and back in the laboratory in Nairobi, Kenya. Searching for and actually discovering fossils of hominins (i.e. members of the animal tribe comprising the genus Homo, including its only surviving species, Homo sapiens, and all extinct ancestors of that genus) and other extinct fauna is not only great fun, but also contributes to our understanding of what it means to be human. I'm currently the Chief Visualization Officer of VisRules LLC, a for-profit social enterprise founded on the premise that the world doesn't need more laws, regulations and other types of rules, but better understood and accepted ones.

If you have stumbled on this site in search of its owner, you're in the right place. As result of frequent relocations especially in my earlier years, I may have lost contact with quite a few. Get in touch with me.
