hi! i’m sarah.
welcome to this /life-repository
i’m a creative technologist and interdisciplinary strategist who understands the world in systems and art. currently a data & intelligence product manager for an applied research innovation lab, building and designing machine learning and combinatorial optimization software in the home healthcare space. my previous experiences range from r&d consulting, teaching microbiology at uwaterloo, researching at the centre for addiction and mental health, founding a poetry community, and operating a food nonprofit.
deeply curious/interested in emerging technology, cognitive science, (de)constructing mental models, human-computer interaction, complex systems, creative computing, agency, high-trust third spaces and societies, practices of internal:external relating (mettā, ifs, somatics, socratic dialogue), participatory knowing (and non-knowing), and technical implementations of wisdom.
you’ll likely find me awestruck out in nature, hosting friends and family for tea, perusing corners of a vintage market, caffeinated at a bookstore, in śavāsana, or unraveling life through writing.
thanks for visiting — enjoy your stay :)
