I work at the intersection of engineering and design, on projects that have meaningful impact on people’s lives. In all that I do, I aim to help keep our world healthy and wild.

My work has taken me from ocean sensor platforms to health data tools to generative sound installations. Being fluent in both engineering and design means I can take ownership of the whole outcome — not just the code or the interface, but whether the thing actually works for the people using it.

As a result, I have developed a range of skills:

• Full-stack software engineering, with deep front-end experience and product affinity
• UX/UI design, research,  and development for web and mobile
• Ideation, prototyping and iteration for physical and online branded experiences
• Designing, manufacturing, and testing digital and analog electronics
• Researching writing, and porting open source software for a variety of desktop and embedded environments
• DSP algorithm design and implementation
• Network design and implementation for various desktop, embedded and mobile devices
• On-site device installation and maintenance
• Designing, building, and testing basic mechanical systems
• Managing subcontractors
• Leading teams
• Hiring teams
• Estimating budgets and planning projects
• Lean project management
• Writing and illustrating for a variety of technical subjects.

I studied at Brown University and received a BA in Engineering and in Visual Arts, and an MA in Computer Music and Multimedia. While there I worked as a research assistant on engineering, art, and archaeology projects at the SHAPE Lab, studying the theory and design of 3D modeling software. It gave me a deeper understanding of programming and mathematics, and I co-wrote several academic papers.

I have always been an artist and musician, and I love working with collaborators. Together, through creative process, we contact the deeper aspects of our experience and share them with others. It takes both discipline and abandon, and it demands that we listen to all of our needs and motivations.

If you have a project that you think would be a good fit, please contact me!
