About Me
I work in technology, designing and building tools for sense-making and taking actions of consequence.
For fun, I make art and music which explore the interplay beteween inadvertent pattern-making and decay.
Recently – Sep 12th, 2022
This year has been a doozy. I’m not really sure what to say about it other than that. I started a new job, have been learning about circuit design and building my own hardware synthesizers and effects, and otherwise enjoying parenthood.
