I am a first year MDes Technology student at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. My skill set is an unorthodox combination of fine arts and web/software development. My goal at the GSD is bridging this gap between physical and digital. I’m interested in moving my code off-screen, embodying the digital in physical forms like robotics, devices, and immersive environments.

My realist painting practice is rooted in attention to detail and surfaces. I paint primarily on wood panel, giving a more immediate quality than canvas which absorbs more paint. Through careful observation of light and the mechanics of perception, I reveal the uncanny or transcendental aspect of quotidien, familiar subject matter.

I am a self-taught coder, and have been employed full-time as a web/software developer for the past five years in New York City. My most recent side project was a node app with a user-interface that geo-plots and visualizes tweets in real time, aimed at exposing cultural differences between urban and rural populations, which I presented this summer at the International Conference on Complex Systems.
