ABOUT ME
15 year digital agency coder, teacher, and mentor
15 year digital agency coder, teacher, and mentor

I am a creative coder, animator, and educator who has worked predominately in the digital agency world - doing work for companies such as Nike, Facebook, Google, and Intel, as well as teaching for colleges (PNCA) and bootcamps (Thinkful), and volunteering in Code for America.

I have dabbled in just about everything, but am most experienced in React, Javascript and its many libraries - Three.js, D3.js, etc. I also have experience in Physical computing - using Arduino and other microcontrollers and electronics to drive interactive installations, Machine Learning in Tensorflow.js and Runway, as well as visually focused software platforms such as Processing.

Happy to help you work through your problems and hopefully get you unstuck.
