Education

Harvard Cover 2.png

Note:
A substantial part of my education has been independent (outside of academia or other structured courses), via excellent books, magazines, podcasts, articles, interviews, making of's, documentaries featuring masters of their crafts, and other resources, over the past 16 years.

Thus, below highlights only a fraction of the knowledge I have accumulated, and is not representative of the totality of that knowledge.
