tldr; about me
i am a creative technologist who merges engineering with art, designing experimental interfaces, wearable/soft technologies, and speculative interactive objects. my work explores inclusive tech practices, open-source development, and creative research — with the goal of expanding access to creative computing and enabling expressive, thoughtful interaction.

supporting professor dan shiffman in teaching and mentoring for the creative computing course, a new minor open to all nyu students, offering office hours, assisting in class workshops, and providing feedback on assignments.
skills: teaching, mentoring, technical guidance, feedback
contributing to the growth of ml5.js, an open-source, beginner-friendly machine learning library for the web, through technical development, creative ml research, documentation, and community engagement.
skills: gatsby, docsify, machine learning, user interface design, research
leading development and design of a digital archive for nyu assistant arts professor blair simmons’s useless machines course, blending speculative design with front-end development, ui/ux, and live are.na api integration; deployed on vercel.
skills: javascript, figma, ux/ui design, api integration, vercel
designing and developing a platform to support faculty in creating accessible, inclusive syllabi, with a focus on usability and visual design.
skills: react.js, figma, accessibility
assisted professor dan shiffman in his course computational text(formerly programming a to z), leading technical research and developing resources for equitable pedagogy with a focus on ml models, and accessibility.
skills: machine learning, syllabus design, research
supported 150+ participants at nyu’s itp camp by providing hands-on technical help, running workshops, coordinating events, and producing the final showcase.
skills: community support, event coordination, technical assistance
developed responsive front-end applications in react.js, designed ui/ux prototypes in adobe xd, and contributed to mobile development projects while managing agile workflows and producing technical documentation.
skills: react.js, mobile development, ui/ux design, agile project management
creative explorations
participated in a global hackathon focused on open-source solutions for child-centered climate emergency response, advancing un sustainable development goals through geospatial data and collaborative innovation.
presented static chic, a 3d-printed inductive handbag that wirelessly lights up embedded leds. part of an open mic curated by kari love and liza stark.
contributed three oddities — gothic teacrypt, orbit offtrack, and pixel shell — to a curated auction of discarded prototypes celebrating the charm of unfinished ideas and studio leftovers.
accepted into radiant fibers for soft glitch, an e-textile swatch combining punch needle, chaotic yarns, and electroluminescent thread to explore digital disruption through texture and light.
implemented sound and haptic feedback for hangarpro vr, a training simulation powered by cognitive 3d. designed to enhance pre-flight safety through visual interaction analysis for aerospace exploration.
created biodegradable thermo-chromic conductive threads with a diy wet spinning tool, exploring eco-conscious approaches in e-textile design.
crafted fabric-based speakers using conductive threads, sensors, and an amplifier, blending soft materials with sound.
