My Goal


From when I was young, technology has been an essential tool to solving problems. By combining a wide range of experiences with a background in development, I develop solutions which span across technological and disciplinary boundaries.

My passion is helping to develop transparent systems, helping bridge the impasse between human ergonomics and technology with minimal impact upon the user.
