I'm a Master's student in the Responsive Environments group at the MIT Media Lab — I write about this work at /resenv.

Previously, I completed a CS and Philosophy double-major at Williams College ('18), was at Tulip Interfaces for a few years in cloud and then hardware, and then did freelance firmware and software development for clients in the Boston area until I joined the Media Lab.

This blog originally started as a series of assignments for Neil Gershenfeld's how-to-make class series, which can be found at /class/htm and /class/machines. I am currently a volunteer staff member for the 2024 incarnation of how-to-make and will be giving a couple of recitations.

Personal projects and reflections:

• clef

  automatic, configurable kicad project outputs with nix

• ppq [concept]

  documentary media queueing from a phone

• nix: tinysearch

  packaging site-embedded search for nix

• git web frontends

  canonical repo summary page = tree + readme

• rdap crawler monitor

  automated packet provenance for blacklisting impolite web crawlers

• home lab equipment
