15<p><em>Hello!</em><br>
16<!-- -->I&#x27;m Isaac K.</p>
17<p>I&#x27;m a software engineer, currently contributing to the <a href="https://opendi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open Decision Intelligence</a> initiative as a standards architect and software engineer. The goal is to help grow the DI industry that enables people to <em>engineer</em> decisions with intent, connecting <a href="https://opendi-org.github.io/glossary/#action" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">actions</a> to <a href="https://opendi-org.github.io/glossary/#outcome" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">outcomes</a>. You can find more details on my <a href="/about/projects/#opendi-initiative">projects page</a>, and read my <a href="/blog/what-is-decision-intelligence">What is Decision Intelligence</a> post for a DI primer.</p>
18<p>On my blog, I (occasionally) write about technical topics, music I&#x27;m listening to, or whatever else I feel like.<br>
19<!-- -->For a list of all my blog topics, see <a href="/blog/tags">the tags page</a>.</p>
20<p>I set up a publicly-browsable <a href="/gallery">personal photo gallery</a> as a way to get me to engage with my old photos more. There are descriptions, titles, tags, and plans for interactive filtering, scores, and alternate views so I can have more fun browsing it. Have a look!</p>
21<p>I live in a smallish town in Virginia with my partner. We&#x27;d like to move to the west coast ASAP! Currently considering Portland, Seattle, (PNW in general,) or the SF Bay area.</p>
