I am a software engineer by trade, and a tech, art, and design enthusiast at heart.
I have helped design and build distributed, resilient systems for startups, agencies, and enterprise partners in the health, financial, education and public sectors.
My design philosophy draws upon the legacy of modernism. I approach engineering challenges in a pragmatic and empathetic fashion that aims to distill conceptual insights into concrete solutions. Above all, I keep people (partners, collaborators, and end users) first.
As an award-winning theorist and historian of design, I've lectured, spoken and taught at multiple institutions throughout the world, including at Harvard, Columbia, NYU and Princeton universities.
I am the author of essays, reviews, and book chapters, and of Spectacular Mexico: Design, Propaganda and the 1968 Olympics (2014). In the book, I examine the ways in which design operated as a tool for propaganda and urban transformation in the context of the 1968 Summer Olympics celebrated in Mexico City.
