I’m a software developer based in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in product management and engineering, I design and develop web and mobile apps. I work independently and as a contractor for small companies and non-profits.
I’m interested in things I'm not sure how to do, and I’m most attracted to products that fit naturally into our lives, enhancing systems rather than disrupting them. In my view, technology is most powerful when it respects traditions, communities, and the physicality of human beings.
Along these lines, I’ve been working on an app for a local food cooperative that helps shoppers make better decisions about what to eat. Other projects include a mixed-reality game, a 3-D camera, and a digital memorial.
When I’m not working, I can be found watering plants, ingesting literary non-fiction, and teaching kids to program. I’m also getting ready for a sixth marathon.
