I'm a maker and researcher who tells stories about code with swarms, robots, AI, and mechanical sympathy _

I'm a Principal Engineer at Thoughtworks AI Labs.

I've guided and worked with the people behind Alicorn Systems, Wayfair, Onshape, Micronaut, OpenDDS, the Air Mobility Command, and even world champion robotics teams.

When I'm not guiding my teams, I'm exploring: My research on distributed systems like robot swarms and tokenless blockchains has been awarded fellowships, NSF funding, and even patents.

In my free time, I enjoy creating art and telling stories about what I learn from making things. Long ago, I wrote a book on interactive media.
