In 2021 I ended an 8 year stint as a Senior Engineer at Google, where I worked on making music and art and all sorts of creative interactions with Machine Learning, web components and web standards, and the guts of Chromium. You can read a bit more about me and my past work. Most of my personal code is on GitHub.
I am available for freelance work for prototyping, in a consulting capacity, or as a tech advisor. If you would like to get in touch with me about working with you, email me and we'll chat!
Art
These days I make art you can hold, mostly with paint. My work tends to fall in one of two areas: realism or weird ("creative") reconstruction. The realistic paintings are usually of normal places (like the inside of a cafe) but emptier and more melancholic than they should be. The weird ones take those same normal things and mess with them until you're not quite sure what you're looking at anymore. Both types are basically my way of saying "Hey, look around you!"; the world is pretty wild if you actually pay attention.
A chaotic view of my art life is on my instagram; an organized one is on my studio page.
Writing
I gave it a shot at writing weekly notes. You can browse the full archive, but it wasn't a lasting initiative. I also occasionally blog about tech things that I've learnt or enjoyed, though the frequency of posts has taken a real nosedive lately. Here's the RSS feed if that's your thing.
Projects
I build very small (but cute, I think!) side projects that are either an attempt at "art", or are a thing that I need in my life and can't find elsewhere (like, practicing ASL fingerspelling, ukulele chords, or uhhhh understanding time keeping in JavaScript).
I sometimes also give talks at conferences, though the pandemic and my retirement from tech has really decreased the frequency.
