> Software engineer and creative technologist: bots that write, generative poetry and DIY hardware.

I build things: applications, digital experiences, devices. I'm drawn to connecting technology with the sensitive, and I enjoy the process of imagining an idea and working it until it finds its most precise form.

I work at the intersection of software development, artificial intelligence and electronics.
