I am ambitious to change the world for the better. Seriously, emphasis on the better.
The intersection of increasingly complex global issues and the explosion in computing capabilities over the past 20 years warrants an urgency toward the development of digital solutions aimed at addressing the right problems. Through my work I hope to lend unique thought and a meaningful voice in the field of technology toward our shared goals as a global community.
YODAMA stands for Yoseph Daniel Maguire. That's it, nothing fancy.
I am a software engineer at Microsoft, creating open source solutions for IoT.
I graduated from Rice University with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, specializing in Data Science.
My background is international. I am Egyptian-American, and have lived, in order, in: Bangkok, Thailand; Balikpapan, Indonesia; Jakarta, Indoensia; Cairo, Egypt; Houston, Texas. In travelling I have learned to really value the variety of pespectives different cultures, religions, and peoples bring to the table.
In my free time I cycle, run, read, and write things. I also really like coffee, the history of social and political thought, and technology focused on time well spent.
