I am a data scientist, researcher, engineer, sometime-traveler, and African SFF author. I lead technology development on open data and research-publication software services, with a focus on ethics and curation.
I am fascinated by the frontiers of human progress: innovation vs ignorance; wealth vs poverty, migration vs stasis.
I also drink a great deal of coffee.

Meanwhile, as millions fleeing famine, genocide and environmental collapse seek refuge across the Mediterranean, their genii begin to intrude into reality. And deep within the desert something precious and terrible has been lost – something which could overwhelm them all . . .</p>
