Michael Anderson

I lead a team of software, infrastructure, and network engineers doing next-generation development for HPC and AI. My side of that work is bringing up the infrastructure, not the end-user experience.

I got into photography because I wanted to capture how something felt, and lenses and sensors don't always see the world the way we do. I've done some professional work and I'm open to more, but the goal is to share how I see things.

I'm also an avid cyclist, and lately I've been finishing projects I've wanted to build for a while, mostly around options trading and market data. The ones worth sharing are here.
