I’m in charge of designing and managing the software ecosystem for the Ammortal Chamber—a high end, high tech wellness device.

Pursued my generative computer arts practice full-time, creating new bodies of work for a show at the Delaware Contemporary Art Museum.

Seattle, WA, US

On the HumanFX team, I designed and developed human-in-the-loop tools to aid wearable designers in Alexa Devices. These tools consisted of real-time graphics and physics applications built using WebGL. I also developed data pipelines for acquiring and processing 3D scans, maintained 3D databases, and made statistical shape models of complex anatomical.

New York City, NY, US

My primary role included designing and developing interactive experiential installations and exhibits with bespoke software in C++, Python and JS. My specialty was computer vision applications involving realtime user tracking through physical spaces.Additional responsibilities included:- Consulting in concept phases to advise on novel, relevant.

San Francisco, CA, US

As one of nine individuals selected to use Autodesk’s Pier 9 advanced manufacturing facilities, I worked on numerous cutting-edge projects, from training machines to study sculpture to revealing the mechanical signatures of CNC routers.

I made custom software for renowned artist studio Troika, including desktop applications for motion capture and algorithms for 3D model slicing and particle simulations.

I helped program the vision system and emotional decision making capabilities of an interactive industrial robot at Autodesk’s Boston BUILD Space. The robot, named Mimus, premiered at the London Design Museum’s opening exhibition.Questions we explored:- What does it mean to tame technology? - How do we coexist with machines of mass and scale? - What role.

San Francisco, California, US

With a small team of designers, I helped reimagine the future of an industry for a world-leading manufacturer, conducting design research in the field, concepting new experiences, and making physical / digital prototypes to bring ideas to life.

72U is a 12-week intensive program that brings together young and talented writers, filmmakers, designers, and the like to collaborate on projects both independent and agency driven, exploring new technologies, modes of communication, and new media applications.

Providence, Rhode Island, US

I worked in collaboration with fellow students and professors to create a collaborative space for artists, designers, and engineers. My responsibilities included:- Branding and logo design- Website design and development- Machine maintenance (Makerbots, laser cutters, etc.)- Workshop instruction for 3D printing

Providence, Rhode Island, US

For this experimental summer course in Design Fundamentals at Brown University, I worked to develop content, graphics, and videos teaching the basics of modeling and 3D printing.
