I tumbled into computer science to create things, but became more interested in the people who inhabit our created world.

The thing that drives me is curiosity about people and the media artifacts that come from our collective desire for meaning. I study how people make sense of information, how they navigate uncertainty, and how the systems we build shape that process in ways we rarely intend.

Most of my work lives in the tension between what systems can do and what people actually need. My background spans software engineering, HCI research, UX design, visual culture, and data analysis. I don't fit neatly in any single box, and I've found that's an advantage.
