About

I am a computational social scientist musing about firms, emerging technologies, and the structure of inequality. My research interests revolve around the causes and consequences of firm heterogeneity. And most recently, my intellectual inquiry contends with issues at the nexus of entrepreneurship, innovation, and inequality. Outside of and guiding my research identity, I am a Believer and first-generation Haitian-American. I am also a producer and consumer of the arts and philosophy and enjoy expressionism, jazz, loud music, metaphysics, and speculative fiction.
