a [hacker](images/me.jpg) of Computational Machinations, Digital Arts and Electronic Sounds, hailing from Brooklyn
a [hacker](images/me.jpg) that [plays with the boundaries between the virtual and the physical](/making/12-living-room)
I am a programmer who likes to connect random inputs and outputs to see what people will do with them.
a **facilitator** who teaches by learning, and learns through naive discovery with friends
I often take virtual streams and provide them physical facilities to exaggerate their impact on our lives.
I am equally uncomfortable coding in C, C++, Rust, Javascript, Typescript, Coffeescript, Python, Piet, Basic, Hypercard, and Bash.
I painted a simple [echo program](images/piet.png) and could very easily see myself holed up for the winter just with canvas and wine.
Some communities I'm a part of and love include [the school for poetic computation](sfpc.io), [~~hacker school~~ recurse center](recurse.com), [woodbine](woodbine.nyc), [arthackday](arthackday.net), [the medialab at the met](http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/office-of-the-director/digital-media-department/digital-underground/posts/2013/introducing-the-media-lab), and [itp camp](http://itp.nyu.edu/camp2014/). If you are interested in chatting about any of these, please reach out!
