Expertise - Technology-driven approaches towards solving human problems

I enjoy finding combinatorial solutions that incorporate my varied skill set, focusing on the intersection of physical science x digital design.

3d blob design
  • Computational materials science. Nearly any engineering problem could be solved through the use of better materials. My graduate degree in materials science gives me a keen understanding of the extent and limits of physical possibility.
  • Systems & process design. Systems and processes run the world around us. My background in chemical and process engineering enables me to efficiently streamline human and technical systems, ensuring they are not only effective but also sustainable.
  • Digital design & development. Effectively communicating complex ideas demands creativity. I am passionate about building enjoyable digital experiences that can close the chasm between the lab bench and the outside world.
  • Automation & AI. Artificial intelligence presents a new paradigm. My project portfolio demonstrates my ability to adapt to this quickly evolving technology and my creativity in its implementation.
