about.
I am an Electrical and Computer Engineer with almost a decade of experience working on systems all the way from PCB design, through low-level firmware, to deployed webapps and design. I use a wide range of tools, fabrication techniques, and mediums to create both creative art and technical products.
I am currently employed as a Systems Engineer within a small team at WHITEvoid building large-scale kinetic lighting installations around the world. My day-to-day responsiblities vary from designing new circuit boards for upcoming shows, running medium-scale production of multiple electrical designs simultaneously, writing bare-metal or RTOS-based firmware for our in-house products, or doing deep systems and functional test and debug across discipllines.
I continue to working on a contract basis with different clients. These clients have varied from established startups (Sofar Ocean) to small groups or founders. I’ve worked on both battery-powered devices that need to minimize power consumption while supporting satellite and cellular transmissions as well as wall-powered appliances employing multiple motors, heating elements, pumps, and sensors all within a single enclosure.
I spent three years as a software engineer at Plangrid, a construction software startup modernizing project management and tracking by syncing blueprints and allowing collaboration across multiple devices in the field.
Around one year after Autodesk acquired Plangrid, I joined Simplexity Product Development as a firmware engineer working on a variety of projects for different clients. These projects ranged from one-off builds for very niche, specific applications to designing and building a Class II medical device from the ground up, including regulatory testing and manufacturing.
See my writeup to read about one of the more interesting reverse-engineering projects I worked on while there.
Throughout my entire career I have continued to work on external ideas and projects that interest me. I’ve created several websites (lineup list is one with thousands of annual users). I’ve designed and built several iterations of technical hardware products (lighting-based designs like the Mini DMX Patcher and Ethernet DMX controllers, or functional ones like the Spot Check device). I continue to explore art through different mediums and implementations - some examples include Low Res, Light Valves, and Silent Songs.
