About

I'm a designer and engineer focused on new and alternative interfaces. I specialize in prototyping and I love to work iteratively through a design in code.

Side Projects

2022

Experimental web-basesd creative tools. Featuring image distorters, freeform text editors, and weird website builders. Targeted experiments in alternative interfaces.

Work Experience

2022 — 2022

I led engineering on features like drawing and screenshare, and built prototypes for experimental features like card stacking.

2021 — 2021

A bvisual filesystem for creative work. I led front-end engineering for the first versions of an experimental interface that lets you browse and make connections between thousands of images. We used WebGL to build a reactive, intuitive way to explore images clustered through machine learning.

2014 — 2021

A research lab. We built quarterly prototoypes exploring machine learning capabilities. I designed and built the front-end for experiments exploring capabilities like summarization, sentiment analysis, and prediction. I also led design for the branding and print reports.

2012 — 2014

Worked on many early-stage prototypes and experiments, including Instapaper, Poncho, and Findings.
