Mission
I am a human-centered technologist combining systems engineering with experience design to build tools that broaden and extend human capabilities.
These tools perceive what is happening in the world, synthesize that data to extract meaning, and empower people to understand and take action.
Over the past 15 years, I have designed and built a wide variety of communication, collaboration, and control systems for clients ranging from government institutions and Fortune 500 companies to universities and nonprofit organizations.
These systems have taken many forms, but they always put people first.
