I studied Computer Science at the University of Florida.

For my senior project, I tapped iOS' multipeer connectivity framework to build a meshed file streaming application for streaming music files across multiple devices.

I worked for a summer with a startup in town building their iOS application to interface with the bluetooth low energy tracking tags they were developing for cold-chain logistics customers.

Out of school, I came on as the 7th employee at a startup called French Girls, where we were building a social network for digital artists: think Instagram with digital art tools inside, allowing for commissioning artists and posting work directly. While there, I was part of our rebrand (much-needed) and rebuild and developed a proposal to implement what I still believe to be the way to structure such an information/artifact market: first-class experiences for all three of creators, consumers, and curators. I learned a lot here on how to listen to users, how to navigate team dynamics, and how founders shape organizations.

I left in 2017 to dive into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency more broadly, and began client work across two domains: software development and technical communication.

On the writing side, I wrote and edited technical whitepapers for clients as well as wrote articles for CoinCentral: how not to get hacked, profiles on projects, anything and everything.

On the software side, I worked on the Airbitz mobile wallet (which has become Edge), contributing to both their iOS and Android applications built with React Native.

It was around this time my interest in decentralized physical infrastructure was piqued as well, manifesting in experimenting with communal living while I watched the regenerative/agroecological/ecovillage world and the nascent dweb/DAO/peer-to-peer world merge into what I was sure would become a 21st century Whole Earth solarpunk sort of thing.

In 2018, a series of rabbit holes started on Twitter led me to spend some time away from software work, notably meeting and working with hypertext visionary Ted Nelson (whose archive I now steward), becoming a licensed EMT, and spending a year in the Santa Cruz Mountains colocated with the Digibarn while studying architecture in the lineage of Christopher Alexander through Building Beauty.

In 2022, I returned to the Bay Area to join a friend founding a hardware studio devoted to sophisticated industrial equipment at the small and medium scale to support and enable circular manufacturing contexts.

After leaving the studio, and with the advent of AI, I've returned to software development while nurturing my architecture and construction work. My work is primarily in React on the web and Swift for iOS and macOS.

For my client Digital Ambiance, I've been developing LightPath, a React application which interfaces with the TouchDesigner lighting control software to act as a client-facing control panel for their interactive lighting installations.

While at the hardware studio, processflows.vercel.app was born as a high-level system design tool for agricultural and industrial contexts, and I've continued development (also React), potentially partnering with the reincarnated studio to bring it to market.

On the side, I've partnered with a local catering company to develop Easy Expo (https://app.easyexpo.app), for managing and coordinating large-scale dinner service events.

And for fun, I built my first macOS application, wormhole ( viawormhole.xyz), an experiment in interface and sound design wrapping my favorite file transfer CLI.
