About
Hey, I'm Joe. In the past I was a teacher, a fortune teller, a Zen apprentice, and a poet-for-hire. In 2020 I learned to code, fell into the computer, and never came back out.
These days I'm an AI Learning Hackathon Architect at Devpost and a DavidsonX instructor teaching a MOOC on building AI agents for beginners. I also run a small mushroom farm with my wife, Misty River Mushrooms.
I love discussing AI, education, and how to make utopian science fiction come true. If you see anything here that excites you, please do reach out.
