Hiya and welcome to my h'bout page ~

I'm an avid builder, educator, and graphics enthusiast whose free time is filled with fitness, reading, and anything dog-related.

Builder at the intersection of Physics, Art, && Code

Currently

Eng Lead

Pasteur Labs

I lead engineering for human-machine teaming at Pasteur Labs, where we're figuring out how humans and AI can think and discover together. We're building a simulation platform that helps scientists and engineers tackle some of the hardest problems in the simulation industry.

Making

Scribbiter

Outside of my day-job, I'm building Scribbiter, a tool that helps artists and photographers protect their work from being scraped and used to train AI without their knowledge or consent.

Writing

Project Purple

A writing project whose ending even I dont know yet. I guess we'll both find out at some point ~

Tenets

It takes a village to succeed and there's no such thing as a 'self-made' individual; where we end up in life comes down to a mix of peers, mentors, and personal grit. Given this fact, I make a point to learn from those in my community and making sure I'm someone others can lean on as well.

Learning/Teaching

Current ways I mentor - GenHeration, Polygence, Guest Lecturing at Universities, and plain old just email answering ( hello to all you internet people :D ).

Creating/Writing

Working through projects is a great way to prevent stagnation and writing out new ideas and lessons from projects and research reinforces the learning cycle.

Investing/Advising

Startups are constantly changing endeavors in the climate of today. Along with the help from others, I currently advise two stealth startups and invest in computer graphics (gpu, vr, engine, ...), climate-tech, health-tech, and novel opportunities.
